After defeating the coalition forces of the Chagatai Khanate tribes, the Ming army began to quickly take over all areas of the Western Region, from the north and south of the Altai Mountains to the north and south roads of the Tianshan Mountains, and then to the north road of the Kunlun Mountains. All places in the Western Region fell under the control of the Ming Dynasty.
among.
Tribes large and small were all severely damaged due to the previous wars. Almost all the adult men were killed or injured. The rest either migrated out of the Western Regions or could only accept the rule of the Ming Dynasty obediently.
In Alimari, inside Mahemu's original Orduo, Liu Jin was holding a meeting.
"Yang Yun!"
"The end is here!"
Following Liu Jin's order, Yang Yun stood up. Several years of military campaigns made the Polu Marquis more and more famous. At first, he relied on his martial arts to kill the little Tatar prince.
Therefore, he was granted the title of Marquis.
After the establishment of the Ming Dynasty Royal Military Academy, he also entered it for further study. Today, he is also a general who is full of confidence and has a hint of bookishness.
"I order you to lead 30,000 cavalry to attack the Kazakh Khanate. You must defeat the eastward advancing troops of the Kazakh Khanate and seize the north of the river."
"I will obey my orders!"
Yang Yun immediately replied respectfully.
"Wang Shouren!"
"The end is here!"
"I order you to lead 10,000 cavalry and 50,000 infantry to attack the Shaibani Khanate, attack Samarkand, and seize the area south of Hezhong."
"I will obey my orders!"
Wang Shouren also took the lead.
He now understands Liu Jin's plan. The Western Regions and Central Asia are huge, but the only truly fertile place is the Hezhong area. The Ming Dynasty not only wants to occupy the Western Regions, but also uses the Western Regions as a bridgehead to occupy a wider area. The Hezhong area
It must be captured and managed well.
As long as the Hezhong area can be captured and managed well, the richness of the Hezhong area will be enough to support tens of millions of people. At that time, the Ming Dynasty will use the Hezhong area as a base to attack Siberia and the Ural Mountains to the north and occupy this area.
A vast area.
Going south, you can attack the Persian Plateau to deter the Middle East and Tianzhu. In the future, you can even directly conquer these areas, opening up the connection between water and land, forming a huge circle.
To the west, you can continue to attack the Caspian Sea, the Black Sea, and Eastern Europe to seize the more fertile Kipchak region. The Kipchak region is one of the few fertile black soil areas in the world and is most suitable for the development of agriculture.
To the west is the Western Region. As long as the Hezhong area is well managed, the rule over the Western Region can be consolidated. At the same time, the food produced in the Hezhong area, which is mainly agricultural, is enough to meet the needs of the Western Region and can also meet the continued external expansion in the future.
This is a real gem!
"The Hezhong area is related to our Ming Dynasty's future layout in the Western Regions and even Central Asia. It is an extremely crucial point. Therefore, in the Hezhong area, no matter what method you use, the Hezhong area must be cleaned up."
"In the Hezhong area, it must be a place where only we Ming people exist in the future. It is the bridgehead for our Ming Dynasty to base itself on the Western Regions and Central Asia. No problems or hidden dangers are allowed to arise."
"Do you understand?"
Liu Jin looked at Yang Yun and Wang Shouren, thought about it and warned him again.
The Western Region, the Western Region, what Liu Jin is most interested in now is the Hezhong area. Relying on the abundant water sources of the two rivers, not only wheat can be grown in the Hezhong area, but also rice can be grown. As for cotton, corn, potatoes, sweet potatoes, etc.
Not to mention.
Such a treasure land can become a cradle if millions of Ming people immigrate there and manage it for several generations.
"You will finally understand!"
Yang Yun and Wang Shouren nodded solemnly. Liu Jin wanted them to be executioners, and they would either drive out or kill all the tribes, large and small, in the Hezhong area.
"Han Yi, you lead 10,000 cavalry and 30,000 infantry to continue to wipe out the remnants of the Western Regions, attack the bandits, and wipe out the rebellious tribes."
"The last general takes command!"
Han Yi, who had come all the way from Hotan and Aksu areas, was filled with murderous aura.
After fighting all the way, his name has almost become a nightmare for tribes large and small in these places. Hearing Han Yi's voice, the child stopped crying. It is very appropriate for him to continue to wipe out the remaining remnants in the Western Region.
"Let's all get ready and get busy."
After giving instructions, Liu Jin waved his hand and said.
"Yes~"
When the generals heard this, they also went out one after another and began to get busy.
Although the Western Region has been conquered, there are still many things to do.
Not every tribe is willing to fail and surrender to the Ming Dynasty. Some tribes are burning, killing and looting all over the Western Regions, causing huge turmoil. Others are constantly intercepting and killing the Ming's caravans, convoys, etc., and
Or they may be entrenched in certain places and form bandits.
These must be continuously attacked to eliminate them completely, keep the trade routes in the Western Regions smooth and safe, and maintain the stability and tranquility of the Western Regions.
Regarding this point, Liu Jin's role changed very quickly.
When attacking the Western Regions, various means can be used. Once the Western Regions are conquered and turned into the Western Regions Province of the Ming Dynasty, they will naturally quickly transform into the patron saint of maintaining stability and tranquility in the Western Regions.
These are all trivial matters. Nearly 200,000 troops are stationed in the Western Region. In addition, coupled with the mass killings in the previous period, the tribes of all sizes in the Western Region are now extremely obedient, and a few are no longer a concern.
The real major event was the establishment of the Chief Envoy of the Western Regions.
Liu Jin had already asked Emperor Hongzhi for instructions on this matter, and Emperor Hongzhi had already approved Liu Jin's petition and began to send a large number of officials to the Western Regions.
"Marshal, the time has come. It's time to attend the meeting to establish the Chief Envoy of the Western Regions."
At this time, someone came in and reminded me.
"Okay~"
Liu Jin nodded, adjusted his appearance slightly, and quickly walked towards a hall.
In a hall, representatives of various tribes from the Western Regions had gathered, and everyone had a trace of tiredness on their faces.
The Western Region is so big, and the time given by Liu Jin is very urgent. Everyone rides on horseback at night to come to Alimari to attend the founding meeting of the Western Region Chief Envoy. They all want to hear about it and see what Ming Dynasty is doing.
What policies will the rulers of the Western Region adopt?
This is a major event that is closely related to the interests of their tribe. Even if a thousand people are unwilling, they will still rush to attend the conference. What's more, they don't dare not to come.
The same was true for Alimu. He rode horseback in the cold wind and traveled through the starry night to Alimari to attend the conference. He wanted to see how the Ming Dynasty would treat them.
"The marshal has arrived!"
At this time, Liu Jin, who was dressed in crimson robes, came to the hall with great strides. He looked at the representatives of various tribes in the Western Regions in front of him. There were so many people coming, and every tribe that had been notified had sent people.
Liu Jin looked at everyone, and everyone also looked at Liu Jin. The man in front of them was really too young, but it made them extremely angry. They wanted to kill Liu Jin, but they didn't dare.
It was the man in front of me who commanded the Ming Dynasty's army to sweep through all the major tribes in the Western Region, killing all the tribes in the Western Region. There were countless widows in the entire Western Region.
These people present, their sons, brothers or fathers, relatives, etc., more or less died at the hands of the Ming army. They hate it, but they dare not show it at all, because the dead are already dead after all.
Those who are alive shall continue to live.
"Everyone, please sit down!"
Liu Jin nodded and motioned for everyone to sit down, and then said directly without wasting time: "The Western Region has been my homeland in the Central Plains since ancient times. The remnants of the Yuan Dynasty have been extremely cruel and have ruled the Western Regions for many years. Now that our Great Tomorrow Army has defeated the remnants of the Yuan Dynasty and restored our
Hometown of the Ming Dynasty."
Liu Jin's face turned slightly red when he said this, but there is no way. This has been the case since ancient times. Whatever you do, you must always stand on the moral high ground, so that you can feel at ease, even though this moral high ground cannot be stood at all.
live.
"Under the rule of the remnants of the Yuan Dynasty, the people of the tribes in the Western Regions are in dire straits and are in extreme poverty. I, the Ming Dynasty, have recovered the Western Regions. From now on, all the tribes in the Western Regions are the people of my Son of Heaven."
"Everyone must be loyal to our Ming Dynasty and contribute to the prosperity of our Ming Dynasty. Similarly, since we are the people of our Ming Dynasty, we, our Ming Dynasty, will also protect the peace and tranquility of the major tribes and ensure the prosperity of the lives of the people of the Ming Dynasty.
Good health."
"In order to ensure the peace and stability of the Western Region, promote the prosperity of the tribes in the Western Region, and consolidate the Western Region of our Ming Dynasty, in accordance with the will of the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, the following principles are formulated, and all tribes in the Western Region must strictly abide by them."
Although he was nominally discussing with everyone, Liu Jin's tone was very tough and domineering. There was no intention of discussion at all. Instead, he directly stated the many policies that had been formulated here. As for whether he will abide by it or not, you can see for yourselves.
Come on.
When everyone heard this, everyone immediately pricked up their ears. A few people felt very unhappy. Some people really naively thought that they were summoned here to discuss the establishment of the Western Region Chief Envoy.
, I feel that I am very important.
Whether it is the Ming Dynasty or the Mongols of the past, if you want to rule the Western Regions, you still cannot do without them and you need their cooperation.
The result was good. Liu Jin had no intention of discussing with them. Instead, he informed you directly and told you. This made them very unhappy and dissatisfied.
But even if they are unhappy and dissatisfied, there is nothing they can do about it.
The strength within their own tribe has been weakened to the extreme, and they have lost a large number of young and middle-aged people. Not only do they have no force, but how to survive even if they are connected has become a big problem. If the Ming Dynasty does not occupy the Western Region, let other powerful people
If a nation enters the Western Regions, their life will be even more difficult.
So if you feel unhappy, you still have to listen carefully.
