Volume 16 Chapter 64 The Submission of the Western Regions
The matter of the surrender of the first Khan to the Ming Dynasty was like a huge spring thunder, which exploded in the sky over the Western Regions, and all the countries in the Western Regions were terrified.
At the beginning of spring, the tile spur united with the Kazakh Khanate to attack the Shaanxi Xingdu Division of the Ming Empire, which was known to all the countries in the Western Regions, because the tile spur sent envoys to all countries, hoping that they could participate together.
However, the countries in the Western Regions did not dare, Yarkand and Khalkha did not have the strength, and they did not dare to pick up the tiger whiskers of the Ming Empire at all, and the moon was not daring, his west was the Ottoman Empire, and the south was the Persian Safavid Empire, either of these two countries had the strength to defeat him, and if he provoked the Ming Empire again, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Therefore, they all chose to wait and see, if the Tile Spur coalition can defeat the defenders of the Shaanxi Xingdu Division of the Ming Empire, they may all rush over to get a piece of the pie, if the 400,000 coalition troops of the Tile Thorn and the Kazakh Khanate can't tear apart the northwest defense line of the Ming Empire, then it is better to stay honestly in the Western Regions, although the Central Plains Flower World is tempting, but you also have to have a life to enjoy it!
As a result, the Tile Thorn coalition army was routed at a frightening speed, and the defeat was a mess, and the 400,000 coalition army rushed forward, and returned with a great defeat in less than a month, nearly ninety percent of the men and horses were gone, leaving only Gushi Khan with more than 30,000 remnants of the defeated general, and fled back to the Tile Thorn in panic.
Before the countries of the Western Regions could inquire about what was going on, the Ming Dynasty organized more than a million horses and marched towards the tile.
What is the concept of more than a million people and horses, the camp tent is like a sea, the soldiers and horses are all over the field, no matter which direction there is no end in sight, as terrifying as it is!
As Zhu Cijiong guessed, if four or five hundred thousand horses entered the Western Regions Wasteland, the countries of the Western Regions might still have some ideas, because theoretically there was still hope for victory, and once the number of people and horses exceeded one million, no one would dare to have ideas.
Naturally, the tile spurs cried and shouted to the countries of the Western Regions for help, what are the lips and teeth, what we can't stand and you don't have a good life, all the good things are said, no one is willing to send troops to help them.
Just kidding, an army of millions is crushing, who can bear it!
All the countries in the Western Regions knew that if the Ming army did not retreat, it would only be a matter of time before the tile spur would be destroyed, but they never thought that it would be less than a month before the tile spur would be over, and even the former overlord of the Western Regions, Gushi Khan, was defeated and captured, surrendered to the Ming Dynasty, and there was no tile thorn in the Western Regions from then on.
Faced with this situation, the countries of the Western Regions finally couldn't sit still, and the first to react was the Yarkand Khanate, who directly sent envoys to the Ming Dynasty to declare their willingness to accept the rule of the Ming Dynasty.
In fact, this is not surprising, because the predecessor of the Yarkand Khanate, the Eastern Chagatai Khanate, has always called the Ming Dynasty a tribute, at that time, in order to cater to the Ming Dynasty, they even changed their names, directly named after the place, calling themselves Yili Jiangli, and no longer calling themselves the Eastern Chagatai Khanate.
At this time, they are relegated to Daming, but they just return to the arms of Daming, and there is nothing they can't get over in their faces, and others are not easy to say.
However, the Ming Empire's strategy for vassal states has changed, no longer a minister, just pay a tribute, to become a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, you must accept the "Ming vassal state order system", politically, militarily, and even economically, accept the rule of the Ming Dynasty, otherwise, the Ming Dynasty will not recognize the status of your vassal state.
The Yarkand Khanate has no opinion, anyway, their strength is at the bottom in the Western Regions, and no matter how they are, they can't do anything with other countries, so it's better to let Da Ming cover it, at least they won't be bullied.
Zhu Cijiong naturally warmly welcomed the initiative of the Yarkand Khanate, and he directly designated the Yarkand Khanate as a first-class vassal state, and recruited Abdurahah, the great khan of the Yarkand Khanate, to Jiayuguan, and personally awarded him the title of King Zhongshun, Yongzhen Yarkand, hereditary replacement, and also rewarded countless silk and silk and gold and silver jewelry.
Zhu Cijiong thought that with the Yarkand Khanate as an example, the other three countries should come to vote one after another, but he didn't expect that the Yarkand Khan had been back for several days, but the other three countries had no movement at all.
He was directly angry, toasting and not eating and drinking, then pick a soft persimmon and pinch it first, and he directly ordered Sun Chuanting to gather 150,000 cavalry and slowly press towards the Khalkhanate Khanate.
Before the cavalry arrived, the peace envoys of the Khalkhanate arrived, and they were so powerful that they were destroyed, and they didn't want to follow in the footsteps of the tiles.
Even if they knew each other, Zhu Cijiong reluctantly set them a second-class subject country, and named their Khan King as the king of loyalty, Yongzhen Khalkha, hereditary replacement, reward, then I'm sorry, it is directly less than half.
Immediately afterwards, the Western Regions Railway slowly turned to the north and entered the territory of the Kazakh Khanate, and the Kazakh Khan's Jangar Khan was so frightened that he hurriedly asked for help from Tsarist Russia.
Tsarist Russia can still take care of them at this time, seeing that the ice and snow in Siberia are about to melt, and the army of the Ming Empire is about to launch a new round of offensive, Tsarist Russia can't take care of it itself, and it doesn't care if you live or die in the Kazakh Khanate.
Jangar Khan had no choice but to send an envoy to the Ming Dynasty to sue for peace.
Zhu Cijiong is not so polite to them, accept the "Ming Vassal State Decree System" and be demoted to a second-class vassal state, that is a must, they must also cede all the land east of the Western Regions Railway, including the land within a hundred miles west of the Western Regions Railway, if they don't agree, then start fighting!
What else can Jangar Khan do, the biggest backer, Tsarist Russia, does not send troops to support, in the face of the millions of troops of the Ming Empire, they may follow in the footsteps of the thorns at any time and be annihilated.
If he doesn't agree, he will lose the country, and he has to agree.
In the entire Western Regions, there is only one month left to say goodbye, if it is before they do not plan to cross the Western Regions, Zhu Cijiong will not do anything to them, because they and Da Ming basically belong to the Eight Poles and have no such relationship.
However, it is different now, the south of the month is the Eurasian Railway of the Ming Dynasty, and the north of the month is the Western Regions Railway of the Ming Dynasty.
In this case, the moon must not be subjugated to the Ming Dynasty, otherwise there will be endless suffering.
For the safety of the two railway lines, Zhu Cijiong had to mobilize the army again, he directly ordered Sun Chuanting to send 400,000 troops to press to the north of the moon, and ordered Hou Shilu to send 200,000 troops to directly press to the south of the moon.
Fortunately, Yue Jibei or the Great Khan of the Bulha Khanate, Nadir, was still acquainted, and before the Ming army could fight, he sent an envoy to ask for peace with the Ming Dynasty.
After discussion, Zhu Cijiong finally designated Yueji as a first-class vassal state, and named Nadir as the king of Zhongping, and Yongzhen Yue was goodbye, hereditary replacement.
At this point, all the countries in the Western Regions submitted to the Ming Dynasty, and Zhu Cijiong finally restored the prestige of the Han and Tang Dynasties and regained control of the Western Regions under the control of the Central Plains Dynasty.
In order to demonstrate the ambition of the Ming Dynasty and inherit the majesty of the Han and Tang Dynasties, Zhu Cijiong also deliberately divided the original Tilehorn territory and the land ceded by the Kazakh Khanate into two, and established the Anxi Cheng Xuan Political Envoy Division and the Beiting Cheng Xuan Political Envoy Division to show the world.
The Western Regions are set, and the next thing is the big war against Tsarist Russia, this is the first all-out collision between the Ming Dynasty and the great powers, what will it look like?
At the end of this volume, let's see the next volume break down.
