Halloween Day, Zhu Houzhao's thirty-sixth birthday.

Hundreds of officials congratulated, and the emperor returned the gift and gave countless Ming treasure money.

Korea, Japan, Annam, Yeerqiang, and the envoys of the four countries came to celebrate the birthday of the Ming Emperor, and Zhu Houzhao still gave the envoys of Fanbang a banquet.

This is a very interesting thing, in recent years, there have been fewer and fewer tributary envoys in Fanbang. On the one hand, countries can do business directly along the coast, so why should they pay tribute to Beijing? On the other hand, after Wang Yuan served as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, the return of goods was very picky, which was almost equivalent to an equal transaction, and the vassal envoys had to pay their own travel expenses.

Don't think about all the countries coming to the court, Zhu Houzhao slowly understood the truth. He is a shameless emperor, and he is gradually influenced by Wang Yuan, and he is unwilling to be a big boss with heavy rewards.

The banquet of the vassal state was not grand, but it was not shabby, and after Wang Yuan's strict rectification, at least there were no more cold leftovers.

The next day, Wang Yuan received the envoys at the Ministry of Rites.

"Ruan Jie, the envoy of Annan, meet the Ming Dynasty!" Ruan Jie kowtowed in a proper manner.

Wang Yuan didn't let the man stand up, but said, "I have already read the letter of state you handed over. King Annam, is it really the initiative to take the Zen position? ”

Ruan Jie hurriedly said: "Back to Wang Shangshu, this matter is true. The king of Thailand (the previous king) was mediocre, warlords were rampant, rebellions were rampant, and the people of Annam were displaced. The king of Thailand knew that it was difficult to govern the country and serve the people, so he abdicated and gave way to Xian, and asked the Ming Dynasty to be crowned the new king of Annam! ”

Wang Yuan smiled and asked, "How did I hear that the King of Thailand who was Zen was forced to die with his mother?" ”

"Never!" Ruan Jie was shocked, and cold sweat broke out in his vest.

Wang Yuan said: "The canonization of the king of Annam still needs to be considered in the long run, so you can go back and wait slowly." ”

Ruan Jie stubbornly said: "My country is willing to present the map and the yellow book of household registration. ”

Wang Yuan said: "Then let's talk about it." ”

For the past ten years, Annan has been in turmoil.

First, the generals mutinied and killed the emperor and set up another puppet. Soon, this puppet emperor was kidnapped and killed by the general's brother. A clan plundered the capital and once again proclaimed a new emperor. The minister refused to accept the new emperor and defected to the rebels, who captured the capital.

The new emperor called on King Qin, and after the victory, the two warlords of King Qin fought each other, and the situation of warlord melee began.

Mo Dengyong, who usurped the throne this time, stood out in a series of coups and mutinies, gradually took control of military power from the emperor, and then abolished the emperor who promoted him. After the establishment of a new emperor, after a few years, he finally came up with the trick of "Zen concession".

In all aspects, Mo Dengyong is similar to the "reduced version of Liu Yu", and after ascending the throne, he began to reform the military system, the field system, the Lu system and the official system. But his reforms were too strong, causing a revolt from vested interests, and a large number of former ministers fled to the mourning prison to try to fight back.

Ailao, that is, the Lao Propaganda Division, nominally belongs to the land of the Ming Dynasty.

If we use the concept of a modern state, as early as Zhu Di's time, most of Vietnam was the province of Cochin in China. The six provinces on the southwest border included central and northern Burma, central and northern Laos, and northern Thailand.

Take Laos as an example, although they listen to the tune and do not listen to the propaganda, the Tusi attack each other, often find the Ming father to mediate, and the Mu family in Yunnan has quelled the Laotian rebellion many times.

Ruan Jie retreated cautiously, knowing that this mission was difficult to complete, and pondered how to send silver to the high-ranking officials of the Ming Dynasty.

There is no way, although Mo Dengyong established himself as the emperor and basically controlled the situation in Annan, he must be canonized by the Ming Dynasty.

Historically, this usurpation was discovered by the Ming monarchs and ministers, and Jiajing directly sent troops to the conquest, which frightened Mo Dengyong to go to the border to ask for surrender. The country of Annan was also reduced to the commander of the capital of Annan, and it became a territory of the Ming Dynasty from a subject country of the Ming Dynasty until the fall of the Ming Dynasty.

After Ruan Jie left, the Fire Warrior Hala was ushered in, accompanied by an interpreter.

The Fire One Hala knelt down and said, "Hala, the envoy of the Ye'er Qiang Kingdom, meet Your Excellency the Ming State Shangshu!" ”

Wang Yuan smiled and asked, "You came to ask for peace?" ”

The Fire One Hala said: "Ye Erqiang and Da Ming have always been good neighbors and friendly, and I hope that the king of Xiliang of your country can rest his army." ”

Wang Yuan asked rhetorically: "How did I hear that your country has invaded the territory of the Western Liang King of the Ming Dynasty many times?" ”

Hara said: "It was all a misunderstanding, and it was done by the rebels of the Ye'er Qiang Kingdom. ”

Wang Yuan said: "I have already read the letter of state you submitted, and the Ming Cabinet will discuss how to deal with it." You should go to Honglu Temple and wait for news. ”

The Fire One Hara wanted to say more, but Wang Yuan directly closed the door to see off the guests.

Zhu Dangshu, the king of Xiliang, had a mixed year in the past few years. Xi is more and more populous, more and more wealthy, the presence of the wool industry and the common enemy (the Yarkand Khanate) makes the surrounding tribes very closely connected with him. The worry is that the Yeerqiang Khanate has also rapidly become stronger, constantly attacking the surrounding non-green forces.

For fifteen consecutive years, Zhu Dangshu was pressed and beaten by the Yeerqiang Khanate, if it were not for the Gobi Danger to block it, and build a castle in a key place, the King of Xiliang would have been destroyed long ago.

Seeing that the king of Xiliang could not be destroyed, the Yeerqiang Khanate sought an opportunity to march westward.

First of all, they conquest the Gilligis people in their own country and attached to them.

These Gilligis once helped Sayyid to build a state, but now Sayyid Khan turned his face and denied people, and brazenly sent troops under the pretext of conscripting heretics. After killing the domestic infidels, he asked his son to conquer foreign pagans in the west and fight all the way to the Chu River Valley. Then he marched north, defeating the Warat Mongol tribe on the steppe, and his son Rashid was awarded the title of "Mujahideen".

Immediately, Sa'id himself led 25,000 cavalry to conquer the western region of Mughulstan. Halfway through the way, he learned that the Uzbek Khan had died of illness, and immediately changed the direction of his march and went south to capture Madu, Uzhigen and other cities.

But Saeed fought too far, and under the expedition of the laborers, he was defeated in the city of Andijan. His son, who was in Mughulstan, was also badly wounded and was by the Kazakhs.

The Gilligis people, who were bloodily slaughtered, took the opportunity to rise up, some of them took refuge in the Kazakh Khanate, and some of them took refuge in Zhu Dangshu, the king of Xiliang.

Zhu Dangshu received the news from the population of Gilligis, and immediately united with the surrounding Mongolian tribes who believed in Buddhism, led 10,000 troops to attack Aksu, captured the old capital of the Eastern Chagatai Khanate, and sent envoys to form an alliance with the Kazakh Khanate. Sayid returned to Kashgar with the remnants of his army, and was forced to admit Zhu Dangshu's occupation of Aksu in the face of Zhu Dangshu and the Kazakh Khanate.

Just last year, the son of Sayyid Khan, who had established himself on the border between northwestern Xinjiang and eastern Kyrgyzstan, fought against the Gilligis again. Said hurriedly went to the rescue, but the Gilligis were fortified, leaving only 100,000 sheep without retreating. Sayed Khan continued the pursuit, confronting the combined forces of 200,000 Kazakh and Gilligis.

Saeed was so frightened that he hurriedly retreated, and was frantically pursued by 200,000 coalition troops. When he withdrew to Kashgar, he found that the city of Kashgar was surrounded by Zhu Dangshu, and because he was afraid of being caught up by the coalition forces, he immediately turned around and fled south.

In this battle, the pasture of Said's son was divided between the Gilligis and Kazakhs.

Zhu Dangshu captured Kashgar and approached the western border of Xinjiang in New China.

The invincible Yarkand Khanate only left the Hotan and Bayingolin regions in later generations, as well as part of the border of Pakistan in later generations. They were unable to counterattack again, and even had internal strife, fearing that Zhu Dangshu would send troops again, so they could only send envoys to Beijing to ask for a truce.

Hugh fart, Zhu Dangshu was suppressed by the Yeerqiang Khanate for fifteen years, and finally took this opportunity to turn over, how could Wang Yuan help outsiders?

As long as Zhu Dangshu annihilated the Yeerqiang Khanate, he would be able to rule two-thirds of Xinjiang.

Wang Yuan transferred the state credentials of Annan and Yeerqiang to the cabinet for discussion, and Yang Tinghe immediately summoned him to the cabinet to discuss the matter of whether to increase the cotton tax.
