Seven and Zhuo didn't speak, and one imam lowered his head and didn't say a word - this is called a silent protest! There is nothing to admit that he is Chinese and a courtier of the Great Tomorrow. It is not uncommon to pay tribute to non-believers in the history of the True God Cult, but the management of the vassals of the Son of Heaven in the "King James Ming Vassals Law" can be a bit strict, not only to send hostages to Nanjing, to undertake a certain amount of military service and labor, to pay tribute to the Son of Heaven, to enter the court regularly to see the Son of Heaven, and ...... The Son of Heaven also has the right to "transfer the feudals", which means to exchange the feudal land!

Emperor Zhu's "Vassalage Law" must have referred to the system of the Tokugawa Shogunate in Japan - the rule of the Tokugawa Shogunate can probably be regarded as the pinnacle of the feudal system. More than 300 feudal domains were in good order under the rule of the shogunate for more than 200 years, and there was not a single civil war! Therefore, Zhu Tianzi also clearly stipulated in the law that the emperor had the right to change the fief of the vassal, and at the same time, the number of taxes on the fief of the vassal was used as the standard for the size of the fief in order to change the fief.

This power is no joke! In case when Emperor Zhu had a whim and changed the seal of a few He Zhuo to Tibet, those lamas would be able to sell He Zhuo's account? When the time comes, we must fight! And it is certain that since this power has been written in the "Vassalage Law", the Ming Emperor will not use it. Therefore, as long as a few He Zhuo bow their heads today, they will wait to be tossed by Emperor Zhu in the future!

But if you don't bow your head...... Will the big tomorrow be polite? Whether you claim to be a vassal of the Turkish Sultan, or claim to be an independent Yeerqiang State, in short, you are not the people of the Ming Dynasty, and there is nothing to slaughter cleanly.

Just when a few Hezhuo hesitated to bear the humiliation. Li Hongzhang pointed to the most powerful Katar Tiaole in Qihe Zhuo. He said in a deep voice: "He Zhuo. Catal. The officer wants to know. What does the word 'Hezhuo' mean? ”

Katatiol did not understand Chinese, so he had a white-bearded imam who followed him to reply: "Lord Hui Governor, the word Hezhuo is originally Persian, which means lord, sir, and chief. And in Yeerqiang, the word also represents the holy descendant, that is, the descendant of the Prophet Muhammad, which is exclusive to the Kashgar and Zhuo families. ”

"Prophet...... Descendants of Muhammad? Li Hongzhang knowingly asked, "Who is the Prophet Muhammad?" ”

"It's the Arabs." The old imam replied. "The Prophet was the founder of the Arab Empire. The Kashgar and Zhuo families are the 19th generation descendants of the Prophet's daughter Fatima and adopted son Ali, and the fifth generation of the Sufi Naqshbandiyya Order. Ishag, the seventh son of Azam. Pioneered by Wuli. He's in ...... In about 986 A.H., that is, in 1580 AD, he came to the Yarkand Khanate as a missionary, and his descendants remained and became the ancestors of the Hezhuo family. ”

Li Hongzhang shook his head and said, "Then they lived and preached in Yeerqiang, did they ever get the consent of King Yeerqiang Khan?" ”

The old imam replied: "At that time, the king of Yeerqiang Khan believed in the true god religion, respected the descendants of the prophet very much, put them in charge of religious affairs, and also let the Hezhuo family participate in the politics of the Khanate and became the ministers of the Yerkand Khanate. ”

"Oh. So, the Hezhuo family is the courtiers of King Yeerqiang Khan. So it was the people of the Yarkand Khanate. Li Hongzhang nodded, but his voice was already deep, "So what's going on with Apak and Zhuo?" ”

"Apak and Zhuo ......" the old imam's face is also difficult to see, Apak is the generation of the male lord of the Yeerqiang and Zhuo family, and the Zhuo family started from him, replacing the descendants of Genghis Khan to become the lord of the Yeerqiang Khanate, and the way to replace it was to introduce the 5th clan D Lai, hooked up with the Dzungar Khanate of Galdan as the leading party, led the Dzungar army to destroy the king of Yeerqiang Khan, and with the support of Dzungaria, he became the "lord" of the four cities in southern Xinjiang, Aksu, Kashgar, Yarkand, and Khotan. The establishment of theocratic rule, and its descendants betrayed the Dzungar in the Hundred Years War of Dzungaria and defected to the Qing Dynasty, and then betrayed the Qing Dynasty, causing turmoil in Xinjiang for many years. However, it is not smart, and in history, several families were slaughtered by Agu Bailuo's subplot (tomb plan), and this time and space were provoked by Li Hongzhang to fight each other.

"Lord Li, the Ye'erqiang Dynasty has no way, our ancestors are doing the right thing for heaven and getting the support of the people of Yeerqiang......" Yi Shanhan had already learned Chinese, and seeing that the old imam was speechless, he hurriedly spoke to defend his ancestors.

Li Hongzhang smiled coldly: "You can keep this and explain it to Tengger Khan!" ”

Tengri Khan? HE Zhuo. Yi Shanhan was stunned and stunned, where is this?

Li Hongzhang arched his hand into the air and said: "My great tomorrow has been supported by the Monan, Mobei, and Moxi Mongolian tribes at the Mongolian Kuritai Conference, and has become the Great Khan of all Mongolia. And King Yerkand Khan was a Mongol, naturally a vassal of the Great Khan, and the ancestors of the Erzhi Dynasty committed crimes and colluded with foreign enemies to seize the rivers and mountains of King Yerkand Khan. ”

How else can the truth be said? A bunch of He Zhuo and the imam were all dumbfounded.

Grand Governor Li snorted and continued: "The descendants of the prophets, knowing that kings and ministers are humble, how could they do such a sinful thing? I wonder if your prophetic descendants are fake! The official should send officials to Bukhara and Mecca to investigate and verify with the Naqshbandiyah Order and the Authentic Hashemite family of the Holy Descent! ”

It is also necessary to investigate and verify...... The sweat on the seven Hezhuo's heads is no longer dripping down, but in a string, and the real sweat is raining down! In the genealogy of their Kashgar and Zhuo families, there is a very vague information about the inheritance of the holy descendant family, and if it is really taken to Mecca to study the authentic holy descendant Hashemite family, something will definitely happen. When the time comes, if the Hashemite family sends a bunch of bearded imams to various parts of the Yarkand Khanate to refute the rumors, it will be ugly! When the time comes, there is no need for the Ming Emperor to destroy them, and the deceived people of Yeerqiang will rise up and expel their Xibei goods.

"Lord Governor, the villain is loyal to the Ming Emperor, and the villain's daughter has been dedicated to the Emperor." Li Hongzhang didn't wait too long, and He Zhuo, the first to be soft, stood up, he was the lord of Khotan, Kezikhan, and a girl was sent to the Daming Palace, and she was not a favorite concubine, but she was just the lowest candidate.

"Emperor Zhongda, then you are the emperor's vassal, go back and prepare, bring the map, household registration and female family members to Nanjing to meet you."

Li Hongzhang was in a good mood, one and Zhuo confessed, and the remaining six couldn't hold on! In fact, after two years of civil war and the ravages of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom before, seven of the seven and Zhuo tribes in southern Xinjiang have been gone, and in the entire southern Xinjiang, I don't know if there are still 600,000 true gods with the surname? Relying on these people, there is no power to stop the Great Tomorrow soldiers, and now give them a way out, but they don't need to use swords and soldiers to save some military expenses.

Although he was in a good mood, Governor Li's gaze was still gloomy, and he coldly swept around the remaining six He Zhuo, and there were some hunters who looked at their prey.

"The villain Yi Shanhan is also willing to be a courtier of the Ming Emperor......"

"The villain Sabierhan is willing to be a vassal to the Ming Dynasty, and he will be loyal from generation to generation, and he will never have two hearts."

With the first, there will be the second and third, and after a while, the seven Hezhuo in the lobby were persuaded by Li Hongzhang's reasoning, and obediently thought that they were the ministers of the Ming Dynasty.

Li Hongzhang nodded with a smile, and said continuously: "Okay, okay, since you have surrendered to the Great Tomorrow, then this private war must not be fought again." ”

Seven and Zhuo looked at each other, and said in their hearts, it's still hairy! Calling around, isn't it cheaper for the Ming Emperor? I knew it was like this...... It's better to be harmonious.

"In addition, the matter of resealing is for sure!" Li Hongzhang's voice sank again, "Before this official came to Xinjiang, the emperor told this official that the connection of Xinjiang to Central Asia is the key to the dispute between the Ming Dynasty and Russia, and it must be directly governed by the Ming court!" However, the emperor will not treat you badly, and will definitely seal you, so that you will not have to suffer poverty in the bitter cold land of Xinjiang at that time. I'm here to give you a heads-up, and you should each go back and prepare. (To be continued......)
