The competition between the two countries is ultimately a game of strength, compared to the white-eyed wolves that have been raised by Tsarist Russia for more than 200 years, Gushi Khan and Batur Huntaiji are optimistic about the Ming Dynasty at this time.

Twelve years ago, Gushi Khan measured the strength of all parties, and finally chose the latter between the Ming Dynasty and the Houjin, and sent an envoy to the Houjin from thousands of miles away.

Now, Ta Qing is obviously not good, there is really no need to be a little brother behind them, you still have to follow the trend of the times and change to a more awesome big brother.

In August of the third year of Tianwu, 23 leaders of the Oirats such as Batur Huntaiji and Gushi Khan jointly sent envoys to Beijing to meet with the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Cihong was very satisfied, and it was best not to fight, so that the sovereignty relationship could be formally determined, and the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and Xinjiang and other places could be formally included in the sovereignty territory of the Ming Dynasty.

However, Zhu Cihong hoped to establish a protectorate in both places, stationing officials and troops.

In later generations, some trolls always said that the Ming Dynasty did not send officials to Tibet, indicating that the DPRK had no sovereignty over Tibet.

As everyone knows, his own knowledge is limited, and he doesn't know that during the Hongwu period, Lao Zhu set up military and political institutions such as the capital division and the guard station in Tibet, as well as the military and civilian marshal's mansion.

Submission is only a superficial formality, and the garrison sends officers to actually grasp it.

Just like Ming Chengzu's five expeditions to Mobei, the Mongols ran around, beat them to the cold, and surrendered many times, but they have not been able to incorporate the land of Mobei into the territory of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Cihong praised Gushi Khan and Batur Huntaiji, and gave some rewards accordingly, and then his eyes moved to the envoys of the Yarkand Khanate.

The Yarkand Khanate is not in the circle of the Oirath Mongol Alliance, sandwiched between Tibet and Xinjiang, and is connected by Jiayuguan in the western part of the Ming Dynasty.

Facing Zhu Cihong's gaze, Yaolevas stood up and said: "The envoy of the Yarkand Khanate, the eldest son of the Khan, the governor of Kashgar, Yaolevas, meet His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty!" ”

"I, the Yarkand Khanate, am willing to submit to the Ming Dynasty and pay tribute every year."

Zhu Cihong nodded with satisfaction, and was about to open his mouth to reward, but he heard another sentence from this Taiji:

"But, in exchange, Ben Taiji wants to marry Princess Daming Kunxing!"

As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar in the court, and Zhu Cihong couldn't help but be stunned.

Sure that he heard correctly, Zhu Cihong said lightly: "If the Yarkand Khanate surrenders, I will gladly accept it, as for letting me marry Princess Kunxing, forget it." ”

"Your Majesty the Emperor, it is inherently beautiful that Princess Wencheng of the Tang Dynasty married Songtsan Gampo of Tubo, why can't we promote the good story of Princess Kunxing of the Great Ming Dynasty marrying Yaerqiang Yaolevas? The Tang Dynasty was strong at that time, and it was not the same to accept and pro? ”

Yaolevas spoke eloquently, but he spoke the official language of the Yarkand Khanate, Chagatai Uyghur, which was paraphrased by a translator in the Yarkand mission who was good at Chinese.

Zhu Cihong frowned, and said with some displeasure: "The Tang Dynasty is the Tang Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty is the Ming Dynasty, my Ming Dynasty will never be harmonious, you can ask for other rewards!" ”

Yaolevas shook his head with a chuckle, he always thought that with the strength of the Yarkand Khanate, the Ming had to take into account the impact, so he continued to try.

"My Yarkand Khanate is now prosperous in the Spring and Autumn Period, the country is rich and the people are strong, and I Yaolavas is the eldest son of the Khan King and the governor of a place, and I am not insulting the Kunxing princess of the Ming Dynasty in terms of identity, right?"

Yaolevas's tone was very confident: "Exchange a princess for the submission of my Yarkand Khanate, this deal is not a loss." ”

"Presumptuous! Huangkou Zhuzi An dares me to go wild in the court! ”

"Bold fanatic! Disrespectful to His Majesty the Emperor! ”

Yaolevas's words ignited all the civil and military officials in the court, and if it were not for the presence of envoys from other countries, it would cause a bad impact, and some military generals could be skinned alive on the spot.

Zhu Cihong pressed down with his hands and returned to silence in the court, deciding to give this guy another chance to reorganize the language.

He smiled and said: "I miss that you are young and formless, and it is not easy to travel thousands of miles to and from the Ming Dynasty, and I have never said anything about your family." ”

Being so despised by a guy younger than himself, Yaolevas felt humiliated, and he said word by word: "Harmony is a condition for the submission of my Yarkand Khanate. ”

"Hahaha......" Zhu Cihong suddenly laughed.

Yaolevas said with a calm face: "I don't know what Emperor Ming is laughing at?" ”

Zhu Cihong said meaningfully: "I want to ask you, where did you get the confidence to dare to negotiate terms with me?" ”

Yaolevas was even more annoyed and said loudly: "My father Khan unified the Eastern Chagatai Khanate twenty years ago, and my Yarkand army defeated the army of the Dzungar Khanate in the Gongnais steppe and controlled the thousands of miles of fertile land from the Ili River Valley to Lake Balkhash!" ”

Hearing this, the envoys of the Dzungar Khanate glared angrily at him.

After a series of wars, the Yarkand Khanate was indeed awesome, reuniting Tashkent and Fergan, and the khanate was largely restored to its heyday.

Zhu Cihong smiled and said, "So what? Are you guys very good at fighting? Do I want to give you an award? ”

We are so awesome, the Ming Emperor actually didn't take it seriously?

And listening to him, it looks like he's going to hit me, right?

Yaolevas looked straight at Zhu Cihong: "Is the Ming Emperor insulting me and our Yarkand Khanate?" ”

Yaolevas didn't know that Daming's bottom line was not for temptation! He can't be tempted either!

Zhu Cihong's face turned cold and said, "What's wrong with insulting you?" I don't care what kind of eldest son of the Khan King you are, or some bullshit governor, dare to spread wild in my Ming Fengtian Temple, are you living a good life? ”

Yaolevas said: "In this case, then my Yarkand Khanate will not submit to the Ming Dynasty, and after I return to the Khanate, I will definitely report to the Khan King and re-examine the relationship with the Ming Dynasty, and you will pay the price for today's actions!" ”

Zhu Cihong finally became angry: "Pay the price? Hehe, I haven't heard anything like that in a long time! ”

Today, even if the Yarkand Khanate wants to do this well, Zhu Cihong will not let it.

He pointed to Yaolevas and said: "Come on, knock this guy out of the Fengtian Temple, hang it outside the noon gate and expose it to the sun for three days, and drive out the Ming Dynasty!" ”

Yao Levas was stunned all of a sudden, he was so arrogant, Daming was not only not frightened, but also even more arrogant, which is seriously inconsistent with the statement passed down from generation to generation!

The envoys of all countries also looked at each other, secretly saying that the temper of this generation of Emperor Ming is a little bad!

This is not over, only to hear Zhu Cihong continue: "Send someone to inform the Yarkand Khanate, let them unconditionally return my Ming Hamiwei, and pay a tribute of 3,000 fine war horses every year as compensation for this matter!" ”

Hamiwei is a political power institution set up in Yongnian to manage Xinjiang and other places, and has been the throat of the Silk Road since ancient times, and is known as "the throat of the Western Regions, the arch guard of China" and "the gateway of Xinjiang".

During the Chenghua period, Turpan took the opportunity to capture Hami, and the Ming army recovered it during the Hongzhi period, after which the Ming Dynasty and Turpan tossed back and forth, and Hami changed hands repeatedly.

In the end of the Zhengde Dynasty, although the Ming Dynasty successively sent personnel and troops to restore Hami, they were unsuccessful.

In the early years of Jiajing, Turpan repeatedly raised troops to attack Suzhou and other places, and the Ming Dynasty finally lost direct control of Hami because of the dispute over the Great Rites, and disposed of more than 40 people including Chen Jiuchou, the governor of Gansu.

Hami belonged to Turpan, but still paid tribute to Daming.

At this time, Turpan was controlled by the Yarkand Khanate, and Hami was naturally under its control.

Even if there is no such teasing than Taiji, Zhu Cihong will recover his homeland and lost land.

He had already planned to take the Yarkand Khanate, and his ambition to restore the heyday of the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty was just the right opportunity.

After Yaolvasi and the other Yarkand envoys were beaten out of the Fengtian Palace, Zhu Cihong regained his smile: "Send the envoys of the Jungar Khanate and the Heshuo Khanate back to the post house to rest, and the Honglu Temple immediately arranged for the envoys to go to the Yarkand Khanate to meet the King of Yarkand Khan." ”
