The Yarkand Khanate was founded in 1514 by Sultan Sayed Khan on the former land of the former Chagatai Khanate, and its territory included the Turpan, Hami, and Tarim basins. It is bordered by Jiayuguan in the east, Tibet in the south, Kashmir in the southwest, Uzbek Bukhara Khanate in the west, Ferghana Valley in Uzbekistan, and Tien Shan in the north.

Gao Junshan drank a cup of tea before he said: "Abdullah Khan must have a purpose in entering Beijing to worship, as for what purpose is not clear at the moment, but I am sure that he has come to ask us to send troops." I have made all the preparations, and now I am going to make a national layout and point to Xinjiang......"

"Xinjiang?"

"Yes, Xinjiang. It will be a new region for us, which I have named Xinjiang, and beyond Xinjiang, there is still a large area of land waiting to be occupied. ”

Cai Zhishan asked: "What do we want so much land for?" ”

"Stupid! You are stupid to ask such a question! Gao Junshan taught, "Do you understand the word country?" When the country is strong, the enemy country will not dare to invade, and the Han nation must be strong and cannot be bullied by foreigners! ”

Cai Zhishan said: "Your Majesty Shengming, Zhishan is a frog at the bottom of the well, how can you have Your Majesty's insight?" His Majesty's teachings are in his heart. ”

"Therefore, after the arrival of Abdullah Khan, I will personally march against the Eastern Slavs, drive them out of Siberia, and drive them out of Asia!"

"Oh!? Oh!? Cai Zhishan became more and more unable to understand what Gao Junshan was saying.

Gao Junshan didn't care if Cai Zhishan could understand it or not, anyway, his Chongwen disciples just had to understand his thoughts.

The next day, it was the day of Gao Junshan's early pilgrimage in the Wenhua Palace, he bathed and changed his clothes early, came to the Wenhua Palace, and waited for the hundred officials to come to worship.

When to make an early pilgrimage, there is no special rule on Gao Jun Mountain, generally speaking, there will be an early pilgrimage between 20 days and a month, Gao Jun Mountain depends on the mood, and it depends on the complexity of affairs. Usually, if there is something in the government, you can directly come to the Chuanxin Hall to find Gao Jun Mountain, and there will be no backlog of concerts, not to mention, the general concerts are handled by the first and auxiliary ministers Bailisha first, and there is no need to go through Gao Jun Mountain.

Engage in an early dynasty, one is to indicate that the emperor is working normally, and the other is to have close contacts between monarchs and ministers, because the courtiers of some departments, not for special reasons, will not come to the emperor for a year and a half to trouble, through the early dynasty, you can have a direct dialogue with the emperor, complain, talk about family affairs, Gao Junshan, the emperor will not refuse.

The early dynasty was quite the same as the opening of the conference, saying that it was a hundred civil and military officials, and there were many departments of the imperial court, adding up to thousands of people, and above the court, they were arranged on the left and right, and the civil officials stood on the left and the military attache stood on the right.

The courtiers first shouted long live, saluted, and then saluted.

After the ceremony, the court quieted down, and at this time, I heard someone say: "The minister has this music!" ”

Gao Junshan looked at it, it was Xu Zuomei in the matter, and Gao Junshan said: "Submit it!" ”

The book was placed on the dragon case of Gao Junshan, and it turned out that Feng Quan was impeached.

"Haven't you already presented Shousuke-sama? Why did you take it out again today? Gao Junshan asked.

Xu Zuomei replied: "Back to Your Majesty, the last time I presented Lord Baili to impeach Feng Quan, the twists and turns of the impeachment of Feng Quan were like a stone sinking into the sea, and now I will take advantage of the early dynasty and present it to the emperor for decision." ”

Gao Junshan said: "I have already issued an imperial decree, 'I will not pursue the old things of the previous dynasty', and this matter has passed like this!" ”

Xu Zuomei was speechless, although she had nothing to say, she could see that she was still very unconvinced.

Gao Junshan was full of smiles on his face, and he was already angry with these old men of the previous dynasty in his heart, and he didn't show it because he still needed these people to do things for the imperial court.

At this time, Niu Jinxing, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, said: "The minister also has a script!" ”

"Speak!" Gao Junshan blurted out his debut.

Niu Jinxing said: "The Great Khan of the Yarkand Khanate will soon enter Beijing, what kind of specifications will the Ministry of Rites use to receive the Great Khan of Abdullah, please make it clear to Your Majesty!" ”

"Of course, it's treated with national courtesy." After Gao Junshan finished speaking, he said to the Manchu Dynasty Wenwu again, "You have all memorized it, when Abdullah Khan comes, you must fully cooperate with the Ministry of Rites to receive Abdullah Khan well!" ”

"Yes!"

……

Time flies, the Abdullah Khan of the Yarkand Khanate said that it was coming, and at the end of September, the worship procession of the Yarkand Khanate came to the capital.

The reception was grand, and the negotiations were very harmonious, as Gao Junshan expected, there was no problem in Xinjiang's return to the current dynasty, and the key was that Abdullah Khan asked for troops to fight the Eastern Slavs in Gao Junshan.

This plea was opposed by almost all the ministers who participated in the negotiations, and the war with the Eastern Slavs was not the same as a war with the Rakshasa country, and they went all the way to other countries to start a war, and their own affairs had not been resolved, and there was still a small court to fight in Jinling.

"Xinjiang's affairs are our own affairs." After several days of negotiations, he had finalized the name of the place with Abdullah, and the Yarkand Khanate could no longer be called the Yarkand Khanate, and was renamed Xinjiang and belonged to the Huaxia State. "I have decided to drive the expedition in person and send troops to Xinjiang in the spring of next year."

Hearing that the emperor was going to conquer the emperor in person, the courtiers were even more opposed, and Gao Junshan overrode the public opinion, saying: "The eastward expansion of the Rakshasa country has reached our doorstep, and history has given us the heavy responsibility of defending the country, we must bravely stand up and fight back against the invaders!" If we allow other nations to plunder around us, we will raise them into new Tartars, are you willing? ”

Bailisha said: "The subordinate does not dare to bear the name of a historical sinner, as long as His Majesty gives an order, the subordinate will rush to the frontier without hesitation!" ”

The ministers said in unison: "Go to the battlefield without hesitation!" ”

Paralyzed, you've changed too quickly, haven't you? It seems that everyone is full of blood Yes, if the Tartars really come, at least half of you are soft bones, Gao Junshan scolded in his heart.

……

Once the general policy has been decided, the next step is to implement the details.

When Gao Junshan summoned Abdullah, he told him that in the face of the offensive of the Rakshasa Kingdom, he could first put up defensive resistance, and if it really didn't work, he could shrink the defensive area, wait for the arrival of Gao Junshan's army, and asked them to make food reserves and hold on for half a year.

An expedition to Tsarist Russia cannot be achieved with empty words, and it is necessary to be prepared. Gao Junshan formed a new army in the capital, and this new army was based on the disciples of the Chongwen Military Academy, and Gao Junshan named this new army the first division of the army, and transferred Li Dingguo from Fujian to serve as the division commander of this new army.

The training of the new army is carried out in full accordance with the new operational regulations, and its establishment has been very modernized, and the combat units are divisions, regiments, battalions, companies, and squads, with a total strength of 8,000 people.

Why wait until the beginning of spring to set out? The first takes into account the weather, and the second takes into account the availability of new equipment.

Half a year is the time to equip a brigade of Minnie guns, with the current production capacity of the Ministry of Military Industry, it is completely able to accomplish it, but what makes Gao Junshan uneasy is the production capacity of the garment factory, at this time the garment factory is completely hand-sewn, and it is indeed very difficult to rush out 100,000 sets of cotton clothes adapted to combat under severe cold conditions within half a year.

The 100,000 sets of cotton clothes were required to equip the First Army Division, the First Mixed Brigade, the First Marine Brigade of the Navy, and the Mongolian Cavalry Division, and the Western Expeditionary Corps was composed of these four brigades (divisions).

Uliji's Mongol cavalry regiment developed rapidly, and after entering the Mongolian steppes, his cavalry regiment grew to 30,000 men, and was now upgraded to the Mongol-Mongol cavalry division.
