Chapter 1371: Meeting with the Envoy II vi

readx;.

Zhu Youzhen said, "Unless Yaerqiang is not a country", the cabinet minister Qian Longxi was the first to react. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info read the full text of the latest chapter, and saw that several other ministers and Aru Buhua were at a loss, so he said eloquently: "What Your Majesty said is extremely true. The minister also knows a little about the ins and outs of Yarkand. Its place was called the Western Regions in ancient times, as early as the Western Han Dynasty after Zhang Qian's envoy, the Western Regions Protectorate was set up, and the Tun Soldiers and Vehicles Division were set up, which is now Turpan, and since then the Han Dynasty has ordered the Western Regions, and the Western Regions have become my Chinese territory. Although the war was not stopped, there were many repetitions, but the Tang Dynasty had four towns in Anxi, and the Chagatai Khanate in the Yuan Dynasty was also controlled by the imperial court.

"After the Chagatai Khanate was divided due to civil strife, the lord of Turpan in the east was named the mighty king. After the founding of our dynasty, the mighty king first paid tribute and then rebelled, so Taizu sent troops to break through his city. His successor was restored and paid tribute, and during the Yongle period, he was successively awarded the title of King Zhongshun and King Zhongyi. During the Chenghua period, Hamiwei was officially placed and its lord was named the governor of Zuodu. The guard is my Ming military system, and if it is guarded in Hami, there is no doubt that the Hami area is my Ming territory. In addition, the previously established Anding, Aduan, Curve, Handong, Handongzuo, Shazhou, and Chijin Mongolian Seven Guards, collectively known as the 'Kansai Eight Guards'. ”

Zhu Youzhen frequently bowed his head, took over the conversation and said: "At that time, its place was called the land of Daming, and the leader was awarded the official position of Daming. If there is nothing to do, one tribute a year, each in his place; Once there is a change, the Ming Dynasty will mediate and even send troops to maintain the peace of the place. ”

"It's a pity that during the Zhengde period, Turpan rebelled again." Qian Longxi continued, "During the Jiajing period, it coincided with the dispute over the Great Rites, and Chen Jiuchou, the governor of Gansu, was implicated. Chen Jiuchou originally advocated the recovery of Hamiwei, but after being convicted, it was put on hold, and the official army stopped at Jiayuguan from then on. ”

"Your Excellency, you understand. To see the latest chapter of this book, please go to 800 ()" Zhu Youzhen deliberately said to Aru slowly, "The land where the lord is based is originally my Ming territory, and the imperial court has placed guards and sealed officials, let you manage it yourself, and don't interfere too much." You are at peace, our mainland is naturally peaceful, but isn't it good that everyone is safe? As for the tribute, I don't need to say more, it is even more beneficial to you. Helplessly, you always attack each other, things are capricious, and even send troops to disturb the border, so the court abandoned it. If the heart of the Lord is the same, I am sincere, and I should send heavenly soldiers to the realm of peace, so why should I be in Dzungar? ”

The enemy is the most feathered star in the far family, and Nuosun is sailing

The enemy branch is the most feathered star in the Yuanke Branch, and there is no better way to think about it, and he has dealt with Zhu Youzhen, and knows that Zhu Youzhen has always been true to his words and what he says, not to mention that Da Ming is also using troops everywhere now, and he should not take the opportunity to sneak attack Yarkand, so he nodded and agreed.

Alu Buhua had fully understood at this time, and kowtowed and asked: "Please also ask Your Majesty to make it clear what Yarkand needs to do, and the imperial court will be willing to send troops to attack Dzungaria." ”

"It's simple." Zhu Youzhen's eyes were blazing and said, "The old rules are all there, the lord of the court wants to cancel the title of 'khanate', the court will re-establish the guard in the Western Regions, and the lord of the emperor will be the governor of the left." If the tribute is certain, there will be a distinction between monarchs and ministers, and I will have a reason to send troops to help the lord defend the land. After repelling the Dzungaria, the lord of the Er, since he was my vassal, he should protect the territory for me, and he was entitled from generation to generation. ”

The meaning of these words could not be clearer: if you Yarkand want the Ming to help, then you must recognize the suzerainty of the Ming Dynasty over Yarkand, and the Ming Dynasty will implement fetters and rule in Yarkand. In other words, the land of Yarkand is the land of the Great Ming. However, as long as Yarkand is respectful to the court, the court can still let Yarkand rule by himself.

Aru doesn't spend any time on this, of course. In fact, it is a very common means for the ethnic minorities in the northwest to pay tribute to the central government in exchange for practical benefits. The Mongolian tribes, in particular, are the best at playing this hand, paying tribute when the power is weak, and Koubian when the power is strong; Those who were knighted by the imperial court did not refuse, and they still called themselves "Great Khan" internally. Anyway, the mountain is high and the emperor is far away, they can fight and run, and there is nothing the court can do about them. The rulers of the Yarkand Khanate also had Mongol ancestry, so naturally they were no strangers to this set.

However, this time, Yarkand Khan Abdullatifu wanted the imperial court to officially crown him as Khan, which was a certain gap with Zhu Youzhen's requirements. Such a big thing, Aru Buhua, even if he is a plenipotentiary envoy, can't be the master. But he has always been cunning, and immediately smiled and said: "Your Majesty, my Yarkand has a vast territory, not a small state, even if it is a king, my lord may not be willing to agree, how can I be a governor?" The minister thinks it is better to seal the Khan..."

Zhu Youzhen immediately interrupted him and said: "I don't have the word 'Khan' in my Daming, and it is impossible to seal Khan." Do you know that Jiannu, who is now launching a rebellion in Liaodong and usurping the name 'Manchuria', is also commanded by the feudal state guard capital. Now I am the Governor of the Left Capital, and I am one level higher than the commander of the capital. If the lord wants to be crowned king, it is not impossible, but I have an ancestral system in the Ming Dynasty, and those who do not have military merits cannot be knighted. After the lord received the official position, when he repelled the Dzungaria, it was a great achievement for the imperial court, and it was not too much to be crowned king at that time. ”

Aru Buhua was speechless when he was refuted, so he had to tell the truth that he had no right to agree, and asked for a grace period to return.

Zhu Youzhen was not in a hurry, and said with a smile: "It's okay, there is a saying among our Han people, called 'Twisted melons are not sweet'." I will never be strong, and it is up to me to accept the seal. However, it is a long way from the Western Regions to Jingshi, and it will take at least a few months to go back and forth. Even if the lord agrees to be entitled, I am afraid it will take a year and a half for me to send troops from the Beijing Division. If Dzungar enters the army again during this period, I can't help it. ”

Aru didn't think about it, and he couldn't help but sweat on his head. At that time, Dzungaria was eyeing Yarkand, if you want to use soldiers, in a month's time, tens of thousands of iron horsemen can cross the Tianshan Mountains, how can you wait a year?

Zhu Youzhen saw that Aru was embarrassed, so he smiled and said: "In this way, your envoy can first give a letter to Master Er, and tell Lord You what I want." It is a 4,000-mile journey from Beijing to Jiayuguan, and it takes about four or five days to pass the book with flying pigeons. I can send someone to forward it on my behalf to save some time. If you are afraid of an immediate invasion by Dzungaria, I can quickly dispatch a group of men and horses, and first go west out of Jiayu Pass to Laoyumen Pass. Yumen Pass is only 100 miles away from Jiayu Pass, and 800 miles away from Hami, so as not to cause misunderstanding among the owners. If the lord agrees to pay tribute and become a vassal, this department can quickly march into the army to reject Dzungaria; If the lord did not think about it, this part still returned to Jiayuguan. What do you think? ”

Aru didn't think about it and there was no better way, and he had dealt with Zhu Youzhen, and knew that Zhu Youzhen had always been true to his words and true to what he said, not to mention that Da Ming was also using troops everywhere now, and he should not take the opportunity to sneak attack Yarkand, so he nodded and agreed.

A subtle smile appeared at the corner of Zhu Youzhen's mouth, and he bowed his head lightly and said, "Whether this matter is successful or not, put it aside for the time being." Since your envoys have come to pay tribute, I can't tell you to go this trip in vain. And submit the tribute list, and I will teach you to return with a full load! ”
