Chapter 1125 1120 [The Prime Minister of Seljuk came to Ming Dynasty to serve as an official?]
It was almost impossible to fight a battle of annihilation on the grasslands, and a large number of Mongolian cavalry still managed to escape.
Hebulkhan was old and frail and could not withstand the torture. He fainted when he was captured alive. When he woke up again, he had reached the northeastern shore of Lake Bell.
Two months ago, Yue Fei was stationed in the Ugu Enemy Army Sichuan City built by the Liao Kingdom. But it was too far away from the mountainous area where the Mongols were hiding, and the city was in disrepair and dilapidated, so he moved to the northeastern shore of Lake Bell and attacked
The north bank of the river (Halakha River).
The imperial court planned to build a city here. As long as the city was built, it would be surrounded by rivers on three sides and a lake on one side, with only a small land passage in the northwest corner.
In addition to fishing and grazing, areas along the river can also be farmed.
The most suitable crops are naturally wheat, soybeans and corn.
But rice can also be grown. Later local governments and merchants even named Hulunbuir rice "Bingxiang Rice" in order to promote sales.
The imperial court would move some Han people over, build a farming area around the city and rivers, and set up an infantry force to guard the city. Three thousand Ming cavalry would also be retained here, and the large grasslands around Bell Lake would all be used as pasture for the cavalry troops.
These cities, farmland, and pastures will be the areas directly under the jurisdiction of the Dingbei Protectorate in the future.
The remaining tribes, including the remaining Mongolian tribes, will be settled around the areas directly under the jurisdiction of the Duhufu.
Yes, the Ming Dynasty never thought of killing all the Mongolian tribes.
If you don't govern for a long time, but withdraw your troops after fighting, you can naturally be better than killing everyone on the wheel. But for long-term governance, you have to suppress and suppress, and you should be gentle and gentle, otherwise all the grassland tribes will die like rabbits and foxes in sorrow!
Moreover, too much killing in Mobei will lead to empty grasslands, and the forest people of the Balahu tribe will definitely take the opportunity to go south.
"Are you that Yue Duhu?" Hebul Khan asked.
Yue Fei smiled and said: "If you abide by the imperial decree, you would have gone to Linhuang to see me in person regularly. In that case, we would have known each other long ago, and the imperial court would not have sent troops to Mobei."
Hebulehan glanced at his bandaged ankle: "You want to escort me to Luoyang?"
"Yes," Yue Fei said, "but before being escorted to Luoyang, you need to follow me into the mountains and recruit the remaining Mongolian troops hiding in the mountains."
Hebul Khan asked: "What are you going to do with them?"
Yue Fei said:
"The imperial court will establish the 'Dingbei Protectorate' here, and the 'Yanran Protectorate' in Zhenzhou City (300 miles west of Ulaanbaatar) in the Liao Kingdom."
"All the people from the tribes you conquered and annexed will be selected and mixed into new tribes, and the imperial court will appoint tribal chiefs."
"The remaining Mongolian remnants were dispersed and resettled, one-third moved to the area under the jurisdiction of the Yanran Protectorate, one-third moved to the area under the Linhuang Protectorate, and one-third stayed in the land of your ancestors.
Some tribes from the two major military governors in Monan will also move north to Yanran to set up the Northern Protectorate."
Hebule Khan thought carefully about Yue Fei's words, and then let out a sigh.
This is to mix and settle the various tribes from southern and northern Mo. At that time, the territories of each tribe will be intertwined, and there will be feuds between each other.
"How many of my brothers and descendants have escaped?" asked Hebul Khan.
Yue Fei said:
"Han Shizhong had a fight with me, Ba'ai, and killed two of your cousins, three nephews, and two grandnephews, and captured one of your nephews and one grandnephew."
"In the battle between me and you, I killed one of your brothers, two sons, one grandson, and two grandnephews. I captured your one nephew, two sons, and two grandnephews."
Hebulehan's heart ached when he heard it, and he seemed to have lost all his strength in an instant.
Yue Fei added: "As long as you surrender the remaining Mongolian troops hiding in the mountains, your brothers and descendants who are still alive, including your relatives who have been captured, can all save their lives. However, they must move to the Anxi Protectorate, that is,
The former Gaochang Uighurs.”
Hebule Khan did not agree immediately, but asked: "Why did Yue Duhu already know about the battle report from Ba'ai? And he knew clearly how many prisoners he had taken during the battle?"
"There is something called a telegraph, which can instantly transmit military information thousands of miles away." Yue Fei grinned.
Hebulehan opened his mouth wide and stopped talking.
He could not understand what the telegram was, but if what Yue Fei said was true, then the Mongolian military operation was destined to be a complete failure from the beginning.
Yue Fei stood up and prepared to leave: "I'll give you two days to think about it. In two days, I will join forces with Han Shizhong and go into the mountains to wipe out the remaining Mongolian troops."
"I promise!" Hebul Khan shouted quickly.
Yue Fei walked out of the tent with a smile and continued walking for more than a hundred steps when he saw Zhu Shizhong being kidnapped by Wu Huada.
Zhu Shizhong panicked and shouted: "Protector, please spare my life, Protector, please spare my life..."
"Escape from battle and you will be punished by military law!" The smile on Yue Fei's face disappeared instantly, and he gritted his teeth and looked at this bastard.
"Spare your life! Spare your life..."
Zhu Shizhong was immediately dragged away, and his begging for mercy became increasingly distant.
As for the dismantling of Zhu Shizhong's Tatar Ministry, Yue Fei did not have sufficient authority for this matter and had to report it to the court and obtain approval.
…
Luoyang. Zhu Ming gently put down the battle report sent by Han and Yue.
Compared with the Mongols, Ju Ming is now more concerned about the news about Xiliao.
The latest news sent back to Luoyang by the Anxi Protectorate was that Khwarazmo tried to refuse the tribute of 10,000 yuan, but was beaten up by soldiers sent by Xiliao before he paid the money honestly.
In this battle, Xiliao used fifteen artillery pieces and easily destroyed a crisp stone castle in Khwarezm!
Xiliao actually started to use firearms.
Glancing at the clock, Ju Ming said: "Let him come in."
Soon, a foreign young old man was brought into the hall. It was Mulek, the prime minister of the Seljuk Empire who had been envoy to the Ming Dynasty.
Historically, after Sultan Sanjar was captured by the rebels, Prime Minister Mulek successfully escaped back to the Seljuk capital.
However, because he advocated the centralization of monarchical power, other officials happened to support another puppet. His confidants who stayed in the court had long been squeezed out by everyone, and now they have completely lost power after returning.
As a result, Mulek was driven out of the capital by the new court team, and even his family property was divided up. In his later years, he lived in various Central Asian countries, hoping to be appreciated by the monarch, and eventually died in poverty.
In this time and space, Mulek did not choose to wander around blindly, but directly took a boat to join the Ming Emperor.
"His Majesty, the great Ming Emperor, may you always be healthy." Mulek knelt down and worshiped.
Ju Ming smiled and said, "Sit down."
Compared with the last time we met, Mulek seemed to be twenty or thirty years older. His hair was white and wrinkled, and he was already in his twilight years.
Ju Ming asked about the current situation of Seljuk, and Mullek answered carefully, and also analyzed the factions in the DPRK and the local nobles.
After some conversation, Mulek suddenly said: "Your Majesty, I brought two sons and five grandsons this time. The money has been spent long ago, and I still owe the ship owner a sum of money. I hope to be an official in the Ming Dynasty.
, and was given a house.”
Ju Ming was amused: "What can you do for me?"
Mulek said: "The whole family converted to Confucianism and dedicated their loyalty to the Ming Dynasty."
Ju Ming didn't bother to correct that Confucianism does not require conversion, and just said: "It's not enough."
Mulek added: "The Black Khitan (Xi Liao) spread news in Western countries, saying that the Ming army would kill all desert believers, and called on the monarchs of various countries to unite to resist the Ming invasion."
"I know this news." Zhu Ming nodded and said.
Mulek took the opportunity to suggest: "Actually, I don't have to kill all the believers. I have a way to convert them to Confucianism."
Ju Ming looked at Mullek carefully and found the world more and more funny.
The grandfather of the Mulek in front of him was Nizam Mulek. In addition to being a famous Seljuk politician, he was also a famous Seljuk religious scholar and presided over the construction of countless religious schools.
The grandson of such a powerful person came to teach the Ming Emperor how to make Central Asian believers apostate?
As for a political family, that's understandable.
Nizam Mulek himself was an unscrupulous person. In order to promote his political views, he praised Sultan Gojinin in the book and described a militaristic tyrant as a saintly king who loved the people.
This family is a true imperialist, and its political philosophy has always been the centralization of monarchy. Religion and other things are all tools used to engage in politics.
"Tell me about it." Zhu Ming said.
Mulek said: "You can start with the Turkic nobles. Although the Turkic monarchs and nobles in various countries have been shouting jihad, they are all false believers. They do not abide by the teachings at all, drink openly and act unscrupulously. There is no caliphate in their eyes.
, even dissatisfied with those high-ranking sultans. Teachings are just a tool they use to expand their territory!"
"Oh." Zhu Ming finally became interested.
Mulek said: "The local nobles of the Black Khitan (Western Liao Dynasty) are mainly Turks. The Ming Dynasty can first defeat the Black Khitan army, eliminate all clergy in its path, and then ensure the secular power of the Turkic nobles and force those Turks to
The nobles converted. Those who did not convert were conquered. After a few more campaigns, they all converted."
"So simple?" Zhu Ming was a little skeptical.
Mulek shook his head and said: "It is not simple. It requires a very strong military force and the secular power of the converted nobles must be guaranteed. During the whole process, there will be rebellions one after another, and even spontaneous uprisings by some believers. I have a very rich
His theological knowledge can help His Majesty appease the nobles and people there."
"It's interesting."
Ju Ming said: "Confucianism does not require conversion. I will arrange a house for your family first, and then you go to the Monk and Taoist Temple to study Buddhism. When you have time, you can communicate with the monks of Tianwang Temple. When the Ming Dynasty goes to war with Xiliao, how many people will you take with you?
One hundred monks went out with the army."
"Let the nobles and common people of Black Khitan convert to Buddhism?" Mulek asked.
Ju Ming said: "Yes, let them convert to Buddhism. They used to believe in Buddhism there."
Mulek stood up and bowed and saluted: "I will definitely familiarize myself with Buddhism as soon as possible and help His Majesty the Emperor pacify the Black Khitans."
Ju Ming said: "Your children and grandchildren should learn Chinese as soon as possible, and those who are capable will naturally be reused."
"Thank you for your majesty's generosity and kindness." Mulek became more respectful.
From now on, his whole family will be citizens of the Ming Dynasty.
