Chapter 246 [Yongle Emperor]

On the 13th of the first month, Prince Yanwu of Ming Taizong: Zhu Di, when he returned from the southern suburbs after the great ritual of heaven and earth, the civil and military ministers began to celebrate the ceremony, and the Ming Rite Department Shangshu: Li Zhigang, took the lead in proposing to change the Northern Parallel Capital Command Department to "Beijing" and the Imperial City of Tianfu to "Nanjing", and deliberately fabricated a reason to say, "Since ancient times, the emperor has pacified the world with cloth clothes, or entered the great unification of the foreign domain, and there is a promotion in the place where the cause is made. It is advisable to follow the system of Emperor Taizu Gao's establishment of the central capital to stay in the division and establish it as Kyoto. The recital was immediately promised.

On the 3rd day of the first month of February, Taizong of the Ming Dynasty set up the Beijing Left-behind Xinghou Military Governor's Office, Beijing Xingbu, and Beijing Guozijian, and changed Beiping Mansion to "Shuntian Mansion", and the North Parallel Taifu Temple (Beijing Xingtaifu Temple), and the Xingdu Governor's Mansion also set up the left and right commanders, all commanding Tongzhi, and all commanding servants.

Xingbu set up two Shangshu, four waiters, and six Cao officials, each with a military and criminal worker; Lang Zhong, Yuan Wailang, and the director of one person, also changed the Ming Household Department Shangshu: Guo Zi, and the Ming Criminal Department Shangshu: Yu Yan, and the two of them were "Beijing Xingbu Shangshu".

On February 12th, because of the former Emperor Tianyuan of the Northern Yuan Dynasty Yizong Usahar Khan: Er Zhijin Tuogusi Timur, he was killed by the leader of the Qierji tribe, Wulei Timur Khan: Ugqi Guilichi! And the Qierjisi ghost is not a descendant of the Yuan Emperor, which caused the tribes to be unconvinced, and was attacked by the Northern Yuan Gongzong Xingyuan Emperor: Erjin Enkezhuoliktu (also Sudil) gave up the title of the Great Yuan Emperor, renamed "Tatar" and called himself the Great Khan, and Ming Taizong immediately sent an envoy to the leader of the Qierji to pass the matter, and gave silver coins and other objects.

As early as the fourth year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty, in 1371 AD, the Ming Empire set up the Wusi Tibetan Guard Command Division, the Duogan Wei Command Envoy Division, and the Yiwei Envoy Marshal's Mansion, the Recruitment Division, the Wanhu Mansion, the Shouyu Thousand Households and other administrative institutions in the original Tubo and other places.

In the seventh year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty, 1374 A.D., he began to promote the command of the Ganwei and the second guard of the Wusi Zangwei as the "Commander Division" and waited until Taizong of the Ming Dynasty ascended the throne and became the emperor.

Subsequently, on February 18, 1403, the first year of Yongle of the Ming Dynasty, Taizong of the Ming Dynasty sent the Ming Division of Rites and Young Eunuchs: Hou Xian, together with the monk: Zhixian, to send an envoy to Shaanxi Xingdu Division and Wusi Zang Xingdu with book coins to command the envoys, in order to recruit the monk: Harima, and select strong men and horses to escort.

After arriving in Beijing, Ming Taizong ordered the Ming Concubine: Mu Xin, and personally met with the master in the Fengtian Palace, and gave the world to explain the teachings.

Ming Taizong also asked Xie Jin, a scholar of the Ming Han Academy of Forestry, to be responsible for compiling the president of the "Yongle Canon", as well as revising and editing books such as "Ming Taizu Records" and "The Biography of the Daughters".

On the 5th day of the first month of March, because of the memory of the Wuliang Ha Sanwei to support his ascension to the throne, he deliberately ceded all the areas under the jurisdiction of the Daning Command Envoy to the Wuliang Ha Sanwei in return, and transferred the Yingzhou Left Tunwei, Yingzhou Right Tunwei, Yingzhou Qiantun Guard, Yingzhou Houtun Wei, Yingzhou Zhongtun Wei and Dongsheng Left Guard, Dongsheng Right Guard to the interior, and changed the North Parallel Command Envoy to Daning Command Envoy, and also moved the Daning Command Envoy to the territory of Baoding Mansion. The solidarity and isolation between the Xuanfu avant-garde can be regarded as indirectly weakening the defense capability of the northern Ming Empire.

However, in Liaodong, he commanded the three major Jurchen tribes outside the Siguan; Jianzhou Eight Division, Haixi Jurchen Division, and East China Sea Jurchen Department (Savage Jurchen) Since the leader of the Jurchen Duoli Division, Wanhu Hou: Aixin Jueluo Mengmut (Mengge Timur) was divided into court officials by the Ming Empire's Son of Heaven, in addition to the fact that the imperial court often sent envoys outside the Qianguan to appease and preach to the Jurchen Department in the East China Sea, it was only then that the leaders of the Jurchen tribes continued to lead the people into the mountains and seas to enter the Guan.

On November 12th, Ming Taizong personally met with the leaders of the Jurchen Huli Reform Department who came to the court: Aha Chu, and others, plus the head of the Jurchen Huli Reform Department helped the Ming Empire to appease some small tribe leaders of the Jurchen Department in the East China Sea, so Ming Taizong officially set up the "Jianzhou Wei Military and Civil Command Envoy" in the Jurchen Huli Reform Department, appointed Aha out as the Wei commander, married his daughter as a concubine, and gave the old man the Han surname "Li Sicheng".

The rest of the tribesmen were appointed as Qianhu, Baihu, Wei Zhenfu, General Banner, Xiaoqi, Qianzong, General Manager and other official positions, given the seal, crown belt, and also set up the Jianzhou Wei Experience Division, since then the Ming Empire began to set up a large-scale health institution in the Jurchen region.

On the 19th day of the first month of 1404 in the second year of Yongle in the Ming Dynasty, Taizong of the Ming Dynasty personally ordered to prohibit the civil sea ships from going to sea, and the original sea ships were all changed to flat-headed boats, and the place where they were located was equipped with (prepared for a thousand households) to prevent them from going to sea without permission.

In February, there was the leader of the Kuwu Jurchen tribe: the thorn Daha, the leader of the Kurawen vultures: Arasun, the leader of the brain Wen tribe: the ancient donkey, and others came to pay tribute, and Ming Taizong was happy to set up the "Nuer Ganwei" to manage here, and to put the Thorn Daha as the commander of the Nuer Ganwei, Arasun as the commander of the Nuer Ganwei, and the ancient donkey as the Nuer Ganwei to pacify, and gave the seal, crown belt, clothes and banknotes, etc., in order to show that the lower reaches of the Heilongjiang River were included in the territory of the Ming Empire.

Later, Emperor Taizong of the Ming Dynasty successively set up 120 guards and 10 guards in the north and south areas of the Yangtze River basin, as well as the Songhua River, the Ussuri River, the Green River, and the Hengluo River, further strengthening his rule over the region.

In November, because Ming Taizong was in Zhigu County for the sea merchant ships to travel to and from the location is very important, so set up "Wei" to build the city, and he was here to raise troops to the south, in order to commemorate the victory of the "Battle of Jingyan", Ming Taizong gave the name "Tianjin Wei", which means that this place is the ferry through which the Son of Heaven passes.

Therefore, the Tianjin Wei Wharf Patrol Division was set up to guard Zhigu County, because the sea could only reach Zhigu County, and then transported to Beijing by small boat, so it was ordered to store goods in Tianjin Wei Lutun 1,400 places.

In December, the Tianjin Zuowei Wharf Patrol Division was set up.

Later, he sent envoys to Shaanxi Xingdu to command the prince of Northern Yuansu who was stationed in Hamili to make Si Fengyuan: Anke Timur, who was the king of Zhongshun County of the Ming Dynasty, and set up Hamiwei to manage this place.

On June 15, 1405, in the third year of Yongle in the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Taizong sent the Ming Sili eunuch: Zheng He, with 27,800 people to the Western Ocean on 62 treasure ships, and the first voyage of the Ming fleet announced the favor of the Son of Heaven to appease the border states, and the Western countries also sent envoys to meet the Ming Emperor.

When passing through the country of Majapahit (King of Majapahit: Vikra Mafahana), because the country has wars divided into the east and the west, the two kings often fight each other, and when the Ming army passes by, the king of the west does not know and mistakenly thinks that he is an accomplice of the king of the east, so he sent someone to rob and kill the people who landed on the ship of the Ming treasure ship in front of the team, and after the incident, the king of the west learned the truth and immediately sent a messenger to apologize.

Later, when he was in the country of Srivijaya Qi, he met the chief of the Bolin State who robbed the merchants: Chen Zuyi, he saw that there were many goods on the ship of the Ming Bao, so he made a small calculation, and planned to use the deception to attack the Ming army ships to kill people and seize goods.

This kind of strategy is naturally not hidden from the battle-experienced Ming Si Rite Eunuch, because he is not an incompetent eunuch who can only speak in the palace, but a resourceful literati military advisor, the result can be imagined that after they approached the Ming treasure ship, the Ming army not only did not mess up, but also defeated the Bolin State pirate army with fire attack with the "mine-laying boat" and captured the king of Bolin State alive and presented it to Ming Taizong, who was immediately beheaded by the imperial court, and set up the "Old Port Propaganda Envoy" in the territory of the Bolin State to manage this place.

At the same time, the king of Ryukyu Shannan: Chengchadu, the king of Zhongshan: Chadu, and the king of Shanbei: Panizhi, the three kings came to the dynasty and were respectively given crowns, edicts and "Shang surnames" by Ming Taizong.

In the fourth year of Yongle of the Ming Dynasty, in 1406 A.D., because of the subordinate state of Annan, the auxiliary political master: Hu Jichen, murdered Chen Shunzong: Chen Hao, and Chen Shaozong: Chen An, completely destroyed the Annan Chen Dynasty, established the Annan Hu Dynasty, changed the name of the country to "Dayu", and called himself "Guozu Zhanghuang", but did not dare to call (I) but called (spear), and later under the opposition of the old ministers of the Chen Dynasty and the fear of the Ming Dynasty, he gave way to the second son Kai Emperor: Hu Hancang (he has the blood of the Chen Dynasty), so he was supported by the ministers.

On November 15th, Langzhong of the Ming Rite Department: Xia Zhishan, sent an edict to Annan, and conferred the title of Emperor Kai of Annan: Hu Cha (Li Hancang) as the king of Annan and sent an envoy to Xie En, who was also recognized by Ming Taizong.

After Annan first attacked the occupation of the city, the two armies fought when the occupation army was defeated and retreated, and had to play a request for the Ming Empire to send troops to support, and the Ming envoy came to mediate after Annan agreed to return the land of the city, but at this time he met the Chen Dynasty slave: Ruan Kang, who falsely claimed to be a descendant of the Chen Dynasty: Chen Tianping, to see Ming Taizong to tell the truth, and finally Ming Taizong sent the Ming Guangxi Commander to Huang Zhong, leading 5,000 Ming troops to escort Chen Tianping back to Annan.

But on the way, he was beheaded by Annan Zuo Xiangguo: Hu Yuancheng, so Ming Taizong was furious and ordered Ming Xincheng Marquis and Zhengyi general: Zhang Fu, Ming Ping Xihou and Zuo Deputy General: Mu Sheng, led 200,000 Ming troops south to suppress Annan, and Annan Hu sent 70,000 Hu troops known as the "Million Army" to fight against the Ming army.

After two years of the Ming army completely defeated the Hu Dynasty, Ming Taizong set up the "Jiaozhi Cheng Xuan Political Envoy Division" in this place and brought Annan Zuo Xiangguo back to Yingtianfu to be imprisoned, I thought he would be imprisoned for the rest of his life, but I didn't expect that because he would make firearms, he was released by Ming Taizong and awarded him as (the Ministry of Industry Zuo Shilang) and worshiped as the Ministry of Industry Shangshu, responsible for dedication; The firearms used in combat, such as the Jiaozhi Divine Gun, the Wood Divine Gun, the Thunderbolt Fireball, the Triggering Fireball, and the Poison Smoke Ball, became the main military weapons of the Ming Army.

As a result, the Jiaozhi Cheng announced that the political envoy and the newly sealed King of the Western Regions of the Ming Dynasty Hami Wei Zhongshun County were included in the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and the Diwura Propaganda Envoy, the Dagu Thorn Propaganda Envoy, and the Demasa Propaganda Envoy were added in the territory of the Burmese Propaganda Envoy.

In 1407, the eunuch of the Ming Dynasty was ordered to set off south to the West again, visited the Champa country, Siam, Java, Sumatra, and sailed to Tianzhu Yang, taking the Kezhi country and the Guli country as the destination, the Ming envoys officially canonized the king of Guli as a vassal state of the Ming Empire in the Guli country, and carved a stone tablet in the Guli country to commemorate this event.

However, when the Ming fleet landed in Ceylon, they gave gold, silver, silk, sesame oil and other items to the Buddhist temples concerned, and because of this, they were immediately concerned by the king of Ceylon: Aroka Kanara V: Alekhnar (a powerful minister of the Sanhala Kingdom in the southwest of Ceylon), and he first sent a letter to lure the Ming priest and eunuch to the island.
