Chapter 5: The Tile Thorn and the Western Regions

Although he is a little sorry for Wang Zhen, Zhu Qizhen can't help but understand, although now he relies on other forces to gain a firm foothold, in the military there are Liu Yongcheng left by the Empress Dowager, Meng Ying who was promoted by himself, Jiang Gui in the northwest, Yang Hong in Datong, Cao Yi in Liaodong, and so on.

In terms of civil officials, Cao Nai, Wang Zhi in the cabinet, Zhou Chen in the six ministries, and Yu Qian in the local government. Even in the first year of orthodoxy, there were also a group of Jinshi who entered the imperial court, although they were all in the middle and lower positions, but as time went by, this group of people took the position, and Zhu Qizhen's status became even more unshakable.

Therefore, four years before orthodoxy, Wang Zhen, the only pillar that Zhu Qizhen relied on, was no longer so important, but the strength of the eunuchs and factory guards represented by Wang Zhen were still one of the fundamental pillars of Zhu Qizhen.

Zhu Qizhen wanted to use the civil official to beat Wang Zhen and ask him not to float too much, but he never thought of abolishing Wang Zhen.

Therefore, in the face of Xu Xi's question, he just played a haha, and then avoided it.

Zhu Qizhen then asked some more questions in detail, about the situation in Jiubian, especially in Gansu Town. In the end, he started to send Xu Xi away.

After sending Xu Xi away, Zhu Qizhen held a cup of hot tea in his hand, leaned back in the chair, looked at the snowy sky, and was stunned.

Xu Xi's appointment of the secretary of the military department came down quickly, and Zhu Qizhen and Yang Pu already reached a consensus on this, otherwise the position of the secretary of the military department would not be vacant for half a year.

This also represents a subtle change in Zhu Qizhen's attitude on certain things.

After Wang Ji left the post of the secretary of the military department, Chai Che has not been able to exert the ability of the secretary of the military department, and he is a maintenance figure. On the contrary, the Governor's Office of the Five Armies dominated the Ming military in many things. But is Xu Xi a person who can tolerate the arrogance of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies?

Zhu Qizhen actually knows it in his heart.

In fact, he has been worried in his heart, what is the Daming Guard House like?

Everything has a backhand, this is one of the backhands that Zhu Qizhen is prepared to face the worst outcome, he has other arrangements, but he hopes that these arrangements will never be used.

However, this is a long-term arrangement.

The reason why Zhu Qizhen has such a detailed and comprehensive understanding of the defense of the nine borders and the hidden dangers everywhere is also because of the consideration of the matter of the attack on Hami.

The tile spurs also officially moved westward in the seventh year of orthodoxy.

On the one hand, it is true that it wants to embezzle the Kansai Seven Guards, and it is also one of the behaviors of the first to reunite the various ministries of the Tile Spurs.

As I said before, the traditions on the grassland, the territory laid by Dehuan, but not all of them can be inherited first. Now, although it was first set up in Mobei in the big tent of Tokhtar, the foundation of the Tile Clan was in the Western Regions.

The westward expansion of the first is not only a military act, but also a political act, with a victory to unite the people's hearts and make the tile

The assassins knew that he was also first, and he didn't have to worry about his father's disappointment.

Speaking of the operation of the tile spur in the Western Regions, I have to say the Chagatai Khanate.

Genghis Khan had four sons. Jochi, Chagatai, Okotai, Tuolei. Genghis Khan divided the princes. The son of Jochi is the famous Golden Horde.

Needless to say, the grievances and hatreds of the Wokotai family and the Tuolei family are not to mention, and in the end it was Kublai Khan who won the throne and completely defeated the Wokotai family.

The scope of the Chagatai Khanate was present-day Xinjiang, Central Asia, and even Pakistan and northwestern India.

Don't say anything far away, just say Timur, he was born in the Chagatai Khanate. Or to prepare, it was the Western Chagatai Khanate, and everyone knew that Timur died in the early years of Yongle on his eastward crusade and in the middle of the road. In the end, it was not formed.

Unbeknownst to him, this was also a conquest of the Eastern Chagatai Khanate.

It's just that as soon as Timur died, the Eastern Chagatai Khanate was restored, and it was at this time that Yeva Thorn killed the Eastern Chagatai Khan and occupied part of the Western Regions.

When Tuhuan was alive, he rushed to Uzbekistan with the Eastern Chagatai Khanate. The entire Western Regions are under the rule of the Watts.

Of course, the rule of the steppe is not the Central Plains, and it is extremely dependent on personal prestige. Although Tuhuan has done this, whether the people who stayed in the Western Regions will listen to it first is another matter.

This is one of the reasons why we went west first.

As for the Kansai Seven Guards, it was also related to the Chagatai Khanate, and this relationship even spread to the Yuan Dynasty.

During the Yuan Dynasty, the relationship between the Chagatai Khanate and Dadu was not very good. There were also wars, and the Yuan Dynasty divided the Chagatai Hou Wang line and placed them in the northwest.

After the Ming Dynasty and the Yuan Dynasty, they inherited the principle of the Ming Dynasty and ruled by customs, and established seven guards for the Mongolian nobles west of Jiayuguan, among which Hami was respected.

Of course, the Kansai Seven Guards look like a whole. However, they also fought against each other internally, and the Ming Dynasty also intended to maintain their opposition to each other, and often sent envoys to mediate the contradictions between them.

This was conducive to maintaining the rule of the Ming Dynasty over them.

Of course, another way to maintain their rule over the Ming Dynasty was Gongdao.

Although the transportation volume of the Silk Road has been greatly reduced, it still exists, and it is also a large financial source for Hamiwei, which is why Hamiwei cannot do without Daming.

In fact, Hamiwei has always hooked up with Dehuan, and even married each other.

This time, the attack of the Watts on Hamiwei was also fought together in a political and military battle.

Needless to say, how to fight a military war, divide the seven guards of Kansai and achieve a way to break them one by one. As for the political battle, it is to first ask King Hami for marriage, and ask King Hami to marry the sister of King Hami.

King Hami has already brought this information to the public.

This

It was Zhu Qizhen who had been hesitating.

Judging from the performance of King Hami, King Hami actually didn't want to defect to the tile spur, after all, the tile spur was not as rich as the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty was on the Silk Road, and a little water was enough for Hami to eat.

But the Watt Thorn is different.

Compared with Da Ming, Tile Thorn is a poor bastard.

Tile Spur values Hami so much, and wants to marry King Hami, it is really for love, not at all, Tile Spur just wants to get a piece of the Silk Road.

Not to mention, after Hami took refuge in the tile spur, can he still enjoy the benefits on the Silk Road, even if he can enjoy it, a considerable part of this benefit will be given to the tile spur.

Hami is at a loss.

Zhu Qizhen also understood at this moment that whether it was military, political, or civilian, it was very risky for the army to leave Shaanxi and enter Gansu to fight a battle with Wasu in Hami.

But if Da Ming ignores Hami's sitting, it will be fatal diplomatically.

Because the Ming Dynasty inherited the principle of the Yuan Dynasty to rule according to customs, in Qinghai, in Nuergan, and so on, there are too many places called Weisuo, which is actually a small force of local boss autonomy.

Hami is still Daming Hamiwei.

Give up Hami and sit back and watch the success or failure. Zhu Qizhen thought with his toes, and knew how these large and small tribes would choose beyond the border wall in the future.

Zhu Qizhen understands more and more, and he is also this old and spicy chess first. Not to mention, now the Tile Thorn Mission is in the Beijing Division, while attacking the loyal vassals of the Ming Dynasty, while paying tribute on the other hand, and operating in Beijing, it seems to resolve the hostility of the Ming Dynasty to the Tile Thorn.

But someone was fooled.

Someone actually said that it was good to let Hami marry Wathorn and become in-laws. The northwest will be fine.

Zhu Qizhen was angry at that time.

However, fortunately, Yang Pu is an understanding person. Without Zhu Qizhen's move, Yang Pu disposed of this official and kicked Yungui with a kick.

Anyway, Wang Ji has already begun to change the land and return to the stream in Yungui, and set up a deputy for the Tusi. Just let this go.

But Zhu Qizhen had to admit the ideology behind this.

Zhu Qizhen pondered for a long time about this dilemma, and suddenly felt that the tea in his hand was cold, and the heavy snow had faded. But it also faded a lot, and said, "Let's go." Return to the palace. ”

Zhu Qi got into a sedan chair and was carried by the eunuch and supported his head with his hands. Returning to the palace in a leisurely manner, he kept thinking about it in his heart, and secretly said in his heart: "What should I do?" ”

"What's the best of both worlds?"

Zhu Qizhen didn't expect that Xu Xi had already come to the cabinet, in Yang Pu's attic. Look at the heavy snow that has just stopped. Talking to Yang Pu about Zhu Qizhen's performance just now.
