Chapter 193 Preliminary discussion on the division of enfeoffment - the status quo of the Western Regions
This chapter is chapter 193, the serial number is wrong.
Zhu Chu and Zhu Song were even more excited. This meant that they could not only split the land and seal the territory, but also have great power and freely expand the territory.
Zhu Ming murmured: "From now on, when I study the history of the Ming Dynasty, I will also be able to get into "Family" instead of just biographies."
Benji, aristocratic family, and biographies were invented by Sima Qian to refer to the biographies of three statuses of people. Benji refers to the emperor, aristocratic family refers to hereditary feudal kings, and biographies include everyone else. Since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the aristocratic family has basically been a decoration.
, except that it was used when writing "History of the Five Dynasties", other history books basically do not have the term "family".
Yunxi said: "Don't say unlucky words!" Generally speaking, when a dynasty dies, the next dynasty will compile the history of the previous dynasty, so Yunxi said that he said unlucky words.
However, Su Wang Zhu Piao's expression was completely different from Zhu Qi's. He seemed to be reluctant. He saluted and said, "Your Majesty, I have something to say."
Only then did Yunxi notice his expression, felt puzzled, and said, "What's the matter with you?"
Zhu Ping said: "Your Majesty, I am in Ganzhou. There are many mutinies in the Three Qin Dynasties and the place is complicated. It is difficult for me to control it. I would also like to ask your Majesty to choose another royal relative and seal the country in Shazhou. I am willing to give way to the wiser."
Yunxi was confused and disappointed. He had never been to the northwest, and it was impossible to go to the northwest in the near future. He didn't know what the situation was like in the northwest, but Zhu Zhen was a person whom Lao Zhu had praised during his lifetime, and Yunxi also liked him.
Gave great hope.
Moreover, Yunxi also knew that the northwest was barren and far away from the capital, so he planned to give the greatest support among the three kings. Moreover, Yunxi would not let him go alone. Geng Bingwen was currently stationed in the northwest, and Yunxi planned to let Geng Bingwen assist him.
But when Yunxi saw his refusal, he didn't force it. He said, "Since you don't want to, I won't force it."
Seeing that he agreed, Zhu Tong said: "Your Majesty, it is difficult for me to control the area in the northwest. Please move inland."
Yunxi was angry this time. It’s okay if you don’t want to be a king. Anyway, there are many people who want to be a king. Although the northwest is barren, Hami and Yili are good places further west. The north and south of Tianshan Mountain are
Fertile land, after occupying Hami with the support of the central government in the early stage, the road will be smooth.
Therefore, Yunxi said in a slightly threatening tone: "No! Ganzhou is located in the middle between Shazhou and Lanzhou, and it is extremely important. Inland migration is not allowed!"
Zhu Qi suddenly didn't dare to speak.
Yunxi immediately began to think about who should be the king who will rule the Western Regions in the future. King Qing Zhu Zhuan? No, a few days ago he said that he wanted to return to Beijing and no longer wanted to stay in Lingxia, so he asked him to go to Shasha.
The state is probably even more reluctant.
Yun He thought: 'How about letting Zhu Di be the ruler of this place in the Western Regions? Zhu Di is very capable. It is estimated that it will be no problem for him to pacify the place. Moreover, the Western Regions are thousands of miles away from the Central Plains. When he becomes stronger, there is no need to worry about him rebelling.
And now that Zhu Di is the uncle of all the kings, there are suitable reasons for him to be appointed.
Yunxi was already roughly sure, so he said, "What do you think of my fourth uncle's ability to be a king?"
Zhu Ming said: "We all admire Fourth Brother's ability. Why, Your Majesty wants Fourth Brother to be the ruler of this Western Region?"
Yunxi said: "Let's discuss it later."
Then he said to Zhu Wei: "Uncle Fourteen, since you said that the northwest is uneasy, what is the situation?"
Zhu Wei said: "Ganzhou and other places have always been barren..., so the place is uneasy. Moreover, Hami's Anke Timur also harassed the Sanqin Xingdusi from time to time. There are many Mongols in Hami, most of them are ferocious people, and it is difficult to get along with them.
."
Yunxi asked: "Are there many Mongols in Hami?"
Zhu Ting replied: "Your Majesty, there are many, more than the Uighurs."
Yunxi was suddenly shocked! He said loudly: "There are more Mongols in Hami than Uighurs?"
Zhu Ping was surprised at Yun Xi's reaction and said, "Yes, Your Majesty."
Yunhe knew that Ankh Timur, the ruler of Hami, was a Mongolian or a descendant of Chagatai, but he never knew that there were more Mongols than Uighurs in Hami.
Yunxi asked again: "What about Yili Bali further to the west?"
Zhu Zhen said: "Yilibali is also known as Beishebali. Like Hami, the descendants of Genghis Khan are kings."
"Yilibali is a large country in the Western Region, stretching from Turpan in the east, Congling in the west, Shihe River (Irtysh River) in Ye'er in the north, and Kunlun Mountain in the south. The land in between is Yilibali. Its king
The Erhuo named Hei is said to be a descendant of Chagatai."
"In the 30th year of Hongwu, Kuan Che, the head of the Ministry of Rites, told his ministers: There are hundreds of thousands of Mongolians in Yili, but only tens of thousands of Wuer people."
Yunxi asked: "Why are there more Mongols than Uighurs?"
Zhu Ping said: "Because the Mongols pacified the Western Regions and killed nine out of ten people, the Mongols were more afraid of the Uer people."
Yunxi said: "Do the local Mongolians believe in the true God, or do they believe in Lamaism?"
Zhu Ting said: "Yili people are similar to Wala, believing in Lamaism. However, most people do not believe in religion."
Yunxi walked around the palace. Since there were more Mongols than Uighurs, the policy towards the Western Regions must be drastically changed and treated with gentle methods.
In the past, Yunxi wanted to consume a large number of local people through war for the eternal peace of the Western Regions, but that is no longer possible. It must not be like the Manchu and Qing Dynasties teaming up with the Uighurs to eliminate the Junggar Khanate. That would be endless disaster.
In this way, Zhu Di cannot be allowed to be the ruler of this Western Region. People who have never seen similar situations cannot imagine how troublesome religious matters are. If Zhu Di has his own ability, he will probably not listen to Yunxi. The Western Region is far away
In China, if something happens in the future and we are beyond our control, we must choose a patient and capable person to be the ruler of this Western Region.
Having said this, Yunxi had to thank Lao Zhu for his foresight. In the 27th year of Hongwu, the Kingdom of Samarkand came to pay tribute. Because Samarkand is a country of the True God Religion, Lao Zhu ordered that people who believe in the True God can worship the True God.
nation.
Many true God believers from Gusu went to Samarkand, so the Han people from Gusu accounted for the majority, and most of the rest were not so devout believers.
Of course, Yunxi doesn't know now that the current Samarkand Kingdom is the Timurid Empire.
Zhu Ping also happened to say: "When I came to the capital this time, there happened to be an envoy from the Kingdom of Samarkand who came to pay tribute. Most of the people in the Kingdom of Samarkand believed in the True God Religion. When the envoy from the Kingdom of Samarkand paid tribute four years ago,
, My father once asked the followers of Ginsu’s True God Sect to go to his country.”
Yunxi didn't know that Samarkand was the Timurid Empire, but he remembered something about Samarkand: "In the 28th year of Hongwu, the emperor asked Li Ke to go to his country for Fu An. Today,
Not yet. Has he come back this time?"
Zhu Wei said: "I haven't seen it. Your Majesty can ask the officials of the Ministry of Rites to ask about it."
After a pause, Zhu Wei continued: "It is rumored that Samarkand is a large country in the Western Regions, with an area of tens of thousands of miles. And it seems that he is very afraid of his country. The ruler of the country is the prince-consort of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, named Temu.
Er.”
Well, if the translation at this time was the same as that of later generations, maybe Yunxi could think of the famous Timurid Empire, but the damn translation at this time made Yunxi have no idea who this was.
Although Yunxi had increased his emphasis on Samarkand, he still took it lightly.
Yunxi said: "Forget it, let's put aside the affairs of the Western Regions first, and let me tell you two about my regulations on the feudal official system."
