Chapter 724: Western Regions
The large-scale development of Liaodong has made Yang Reform quite laborious, and the arrangement has been largely completed, but countless details have yet to be finalized by himself, and Yang Reform can be regarded as "getting up early and greedy for darkness" every day, which is very hard.
Yang Reform stretched his waist, the things involved in the development of Liaodong are too many and too complicated, this matter is also a matter of establishing rules at the beginning, and don't have to do it for others, Yang Reform in order to know in his heart, he has to do it himself, and tiredness is definitely indispensable.
"Companion, do you have anything to do in the afternoon?" Yang Reform yawned, buried in this pile of paper in the morning, Yang Reform was so tired that Yang Reform was too tired, and in the afternoon Yang Reform was ready to take a break, go fishing or go to the wind, ready to relax and relax his nerves.
"Back to Your Majesty, the Ministry of Rites Shangshu asked to see him, saying that he had something important." Wang Chengen replied.
"The Book of Rites?" Yang Reform asked, Yang Reform didn't care too much about his Ministry of Rites Shangshu, and Yang Reform had to consider whether he could see it or not.
"Your Majesty, yes." Wang Chengen affirmed.
"What's the matter?" Yang asked Gengai.
"Back to Your Majesty, it is said that there is a Tibetan monk from Wusi to come to the court!" Wang Chengen said.
"Uszambi?" Yang Reform was a little surprised, there will be monks coming over there in Tibet at this time? Yang Reform thought about it, and felt normal again, now that he has cleaned up Huang Taiji, and is also ready to clean up Lin Dan Khan, probably these monks have also smelled the smell, come to explore the way here in advance, Yang Reform thought about it, and felt that he was not wrong.
"Your Majesty, yes." Wang Chengen affirmed.
"Do you know what they're here for?" Yang asked Gengai.
"Back to Your Majesty, it is said that he came to my court to ask for a title, and the others are not very clear, I am afraid that there are other things." Wang Chengen replied.
"Blocked? Now to ask for a title? Yang Reform asked, about the matter of Tibet, Yang Reform listened to Sun Chengzong's warning, there is no need to pay too much attention to the movements of Wusizang, as long as the soldiers arrive, the people over there will naturally come to ask for the title, ask for the attached one, there is no need to find any living Buddha or Bodhisattva. Yang Gai believed in Sun Chengzong's words very much, and was ready to wholesale Bodhisattvas and Buddhas, instead of asking for a Buddha himself.
“…… Your Majesty, I'm afraid it's not just a title, it seems that there are other things. Wang Chengen added another sentence, reminding the emperor that the Ministry of Rites still has important things to report.
"Oh, then let's see you......" Yang Gai said, no matter what, Yang Gai couldn't refuse a Shangshu's request to see.
……
In a short time, the Book of Rites arrived.
"Your Majesty!" The Ministry of Rites is like a pampered and respectful salute.
"Excuse me, I don't know what's going on with the Qing family?" Yang Reform said simply, dizzy for a morning, Yang Reform now, he still has to play jīng God to meet the Ministry of Rites, and he is a little unhappy. "Back to Your Majesty, there is indeed an important matter, and recently there are Wusi Tibetan monks who have come to the court to ......" The Book of Rites is like a favor.
"This, it seems that you don't need to pay too much attention to it, those people, whose fist is louder, now that my Daming fist is the biggest, they naturally have to lean up obediently, the Qing family doesn't have to give too good a face to those Wusizang monks, by the way, are they people sent by the Yellow Sect, or people sent by the Red Sect?" Yang Reform interrupted He Ruzhong's words.
He Ru choked, glared at the emperor, and then continued: "Your Majesty, the minister knows, but the monks who came this time are not from the Yellow Sect, nor from the Red Sect, and the ministers thought at first that those people were just here to ask for titles, rewards, tribute, and trade, but the leading monk mentioned another matter, and the minister thought that this matter was important, and he did not dare to make an arbitrary decision, so he came to report to His Majesty...... "Look at the emperor's meaning, he is very unfriendly to the monks of this Wusizang, and he has no good feelings, He Ruzhong hurriedly said the important things. …,
"Oh, it's not the Yellow Sect, it's not the Red Sect? Who sent that? The important thing? What's up? "Yang Reform asked, Yang Reform is now fighting with Huang Taiji, Lin Dan Khan, Huang Taiji supports the Yellow Sect, Lin Dan Khan supports the Red Sect, Yang Reform subconsciously felt that it was time for the people of these two sects to see that things were not good, and come to hug their own big tuǐ." Returning to Your Majesty, the monk of Uszang was sent by the Zangpa Khan of Uszang, and it was ...... of the Karma Kagyu monks, according to the ......" He Ruzhong replied.
"Wait, Zangba Khan? Karma Kagyu monks? Isn't this white? Yang Gengai asked, because he wanted to run Tibet before, so Yang Gengai did not let people collect the dynamics of Tibet, but he knew some things about Tibet, but these things were only known, and the actual dynamics were very vague, the road was too far away, and the news was too closed.
Although Yang Reform is very closed to the dynamics over there, but when he hears that it is a person from the Zangba Khan faction, he knows that he is afraid that something is really wrong, this Zangba Khan, all along, is still at peace with the Ming Dynasty, speaking of which, there is a common goal, he Huangjiao, and the people of Huangjiao fought hard, and the enemies of Yang Reform also support Huangjiao, speaking of which, the enemy of the enemy is "friends".
"Back to Your Majesty, yes, the news brought by the monk said that their Great Khan was in great trouble and wanted to ask our court to send troops to help deal with the ...... of the Yellow Sect, and the Yellow Sect moved Gu Shi Khan and was plotting to attack the ...... of Uszang," He Ruzhong said.
"Gushi Khan?" Yang Reform asked in confusion, this Khan, that Khan, but Yang Reform was confused.
"Returning to Your Majesty, it is Gushi Khan, the head of the Heshute tribe, who has a large population under his command, and is said to occupy a vast area west of Uszang......" said He Ruzhong, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites. Gushi Khan? Yang Reform asked in confusion, this Khan, that Khan, but Yang Reform was confused.
"Your Majesty, it is Gushi Khan, the head of the Heshute tribe, who has a large population under his command, and is said to occupy a vast area west of Uszang...... "He Ruzhong, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, said.
"Wait, west of Uszor?" Yang Reform was depressed, the area referred to by Wusizang today is larger than Tibet in the future, and the west of Wusizang is not Xinjiang? Yang Reform came back to his senses, He Rupet said for a long time, what he said was that the people from Xinjiang had called, and now the Wusi-Tibetan region sandwiched between the Ming Dynasty and Xinjiang couldn't resist it, and asked for help.
Yang reform's geography is still well learned, and when he arrived in the Ming Dynasty, he looked at the map every day, although he didn't find out what history this Gu Shi Khan had, but he also roughly understood the forces represented by this guy and understood what he was going to do.
Yang Reform thought about it, this matter is interesting, he is still wrestling with Lin Dan Khan, Huang Taiji in Liaodong, on the grassland outside the border wall, the Yellow Sect, the Red Sect are still mixed in it and fight with himself, the Zangba Khan of the White Sect over there is going to fight with the Gu Shi Khan who respects the Yellow Sect, or from Xinjiang, which is a bit interesting. Yang Reform pondered for a while, and sighed again, this ancient jiāo pass, it is really not good, it is called a blockage, even if he is now making great efforts to collect intelligence, but the news in Xinjiang is still difficult to penetrate the barrier of the mountains, Yang Reform has a lot of frustration, this emperor is not omnipotent! In the face of this long distance, there is no way.
The war on his side is not over yet, it seems that there is another Gu Shi Khan behind him, and it involves the Xinjiang region, Yang Reform thinks it is more interesting, it seems that this war is really not over, it is really a real war of thousands of miles.
“…… I see,...... Well, it's a little interesting, it's a little interesting...... "Yang Reform, who got the latest news, constantly regrouped his strategy. …,
He Ru saw that the emperor was deep in thought, so he didn't speak, waiting for the emperor to wake up.
Half-ringing, Yang Gengai woke up from his contemplation.
"Daban, go and get the map immediately, ask for the map west of the Wusi-Tibet region, and in addition, summon Yuan Chonghuan to ......" Yang Reform said, Yang Reform kept reorganizing various strategies in his mind, and reorganized for a while, feeling a little difficult, there was no map, and he couldn't get the specific details, Yang Reform was ready to go to the map. This matter is also related to the military, and Yuan Chonghuan has to be called again.
"Slave obeys!" After Wang Chengen heard this, he immediately agreed, and then sent someone to deliver the decree. He Ru pet saw that the emperor was taking the map again, and he was called Yuan Chonghuan, knowing that the matter he reported was indeed a big deal, He Ru pet felt quite happy, although he was the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, but to be honest, his right was not good, the emperor didn't seem to treat him very well at all, and he didn't give him any big task, if he had something to look for, he seemed to be forgotten by the emperor, far from being able to compare with the Ministry of War, let alone with the Ministry of Households, compared with these two ministries, He Rupet felt that he was doing a cold bench, just watching a play. Now that it is not easy to put on such a big event, He Rupet hopes that he can be looked down upon by the emperor, otherwise, it would be a shame to sit on the cold bench like this. The household department and the military department are now doing a prosperous job, but his ritual department is like it doesn't exist, and he really can't stand the cold eyes of others.
……
Soon, Yuan Chonghuan arrived.
"Your Majesty!" When Yuan Chonghuan arrived at the warm pavilion, he immediately saluted and greeted, and the platform was quite close to the Qianqing Palace.
"Excuse me!" Yang Reform said simply.
The map has already been taken and placed on the table, and the Ming Dynasty-controlled areas, cities, and side walls on the map are clearly drawn, but when it comes to the Méng ancient and Wusizang regions, it is blurred, and there are a few simple lines. To the west of the Usi-Tibetan region, it is much simpler, unlike the map that Yang Gengai saw in the twenty-first century. This is still a map drawn with the "Kunyu Wanguo Quantu" as the foundation, if there is no this map, the map that Yang Reform sees is even more simple, and now he has marked out several important places.
“…… Recently, a monk came from the Uszang side, saying that a Gushi Khan in the west of the Uszang region was going to attack the Zangba Khan of Uszang, and the Zangba Khan came to our court to ask for help,...... Zangba Khan believed in the Karma Kagyu school, that is, the White Sect, and the Gushi Khan to the west of the Usi-Tibet region believed in the Yellow Sect, and the Yellow Sect is now regarded as an enemy of our dynasty......" Yang Reform briefly introduced the situation.
Yuan Chonghuan was dizzy when he heard it, and now he is also thinking about the battlefield in Liaodong, and on the ancient outside the Guan, and now there is a sudden appearance of Gu Shi Khan, or west of Wusizang, Yuan Chonghuan tried hard to calm his heart, this is really a bit big.
“…… The situation is such a situation, what does Yuan Qing's family think? Yang asked reform.
"Back to Your Majesty, this matter is only a monk, it is difficult to distinguish the truth from the false, and the minister thinks that he should immediately urge Jinyiwei to verify this news......" Yuan Chonghuan was cautious.
When Yang Gengai heard Yuan Chonghuan's words, he thought about it and said, "...... Wait......" After Yang Gai finished speaking, he drew it by hand on the map with pen and ink. Relying on the memory of later generations, Yang Reform roughly marked the Tibet region, which is now the Wusi-Tibet region, and then marked the direction west of Wusi-Tibet, that is, Xinjiang, and also marked the approximate location of the future méng ancient and inner méng ancient in the future.
"According to what I know on weekdays, I have roughly drawn the location of Gu Shi Khan, which is almost this location,...... During the Han and Tang dynasties, the dynasties of the Central Plains all ran there, and now, our dynasty is so unfamiliar with this place, alas, ......" Yang Reform finished speaking, and sighed by the way. …,
Yuan Chonghuan was embarrassed, the emperor really had the desire to go far away from the Han and Tang Dynasties, no, he compared the affairs of the Han and Tang Dynasties with the current Ming Dynasty.
"Your Majesty, if there is really such a thing, it is not trivial, then this battle of nine sides and thousands of miles, I am afraid that it will be more than ten thousand miles, and I will have to chase the army to the Western Regions that the Han and Tang dynasties ran before...... Yuan Chonghuan wanted to think about it and then tell the emperor about it, but the emperor personally drew a map, and he couldn't shirk it, so he could only say it truthfully.
"Yes! This matter is indeed not trivial, if that Gushi Khan really wants to go east into Qinghai and Wusizang, then he must come into contact with our dynasty, once he comes into contact with this person, once he starts a war, he will definitely have to fight to the ground, and it is very likely that my dynasty will chase into the Western Regions. Yang said excitedly. Now, to tell the truth, Yang Reform is not afraid of any enemy, now his gun is hard, and there are a large number of imperial army, the border army auxiliary combat, in fact, the strength is already quite strong, and this what Gushi Khan fighting, there is no need to deal with the headache of dealing with the Dongyu, what Gushi Khan, far outside the border wall of the Western Regions, can not enter the customs at all, can not shake their own duty, it is impossible to make any adverse impact on themselves like the Dongyu will enter the customs, as long as they continue to drive the imperial army westward, This Gushi Khan will surely be tortured to death by himself. Yang Reform is now worried that the Imperial Association Army has nothing to do, and now a Gushi Khan is just thrown to the Imperial Association Army to gnaw.
"Your Majesty is reasonable, but I don't know if this news is reliable, this news is still verified, and besides, you can't trust a monk's ......, Your Majesty, after all, the labor army is a lot ......of money," Yuan Chonghuan said.
"Well, the matter of verification, naturally needless to say, but we must also be prepared and make a plan, this matter, I would rather believe it, never believe it, the Western Regions, the Han and Tang Dynasties had a business, but after I gave up, the news was cut off, and it was by no means a barren place...... "Yang Reform firmly believes that he wants to fight.
"Your Majesty has a point." Yuan Chonghuan had to compliment, secretly also felt a headache, it seems, he has to be busy again, now not only to take care of Liaodong, the desert, but also to take into account Wusizang, Qinghai, Wusizang to the west of all the places, this is right, it should be like this, but Wusizang is closed, the news is not smooth, and he has to go over Wusizang to find out the news in a more western place, Yuan Chonghuan only feels that his head is very big, he has never felt that to fight a war, he has to pay attention to the affairs of such a distant place, a matter of Liaodong, It's just too much to implement.
"I also have to inform Master Sun about this matter and let him get ready......" Yang Gengai thought about it.
"Chen understands......" Yuan Chonghuan replied.
"Your Majesty, dare to ask, what should that monk do? And how to reply to that Zangpa Khan? He Ruzhong, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, listened to the emperor and Yuan Chonghuan, the secretary of the Ministry of War, talking about things, and couldn't help but ask.
"That Wusi Tibetan monk, it's still a good hospitality, try to get more information out of his mouth, it's best to let him explain the ins and outs of Wusizang and the Western Regions clearly, so as to increase the intelligence ...... of our dynasty, in addition, the Great Companion, send an edict to Cao Huachun, let the Military Intelligence Bureau immediately strengthen the monitoring of intelligence in the Western Regions, and immediately send people to the Western Regions to clarify the situation......" Yang Gai commanded.
"Obey the order!" He Rupet agreed.
"Slave obeys!" The latter is Wang Chengen's words, the Military Intelligence Bureau has approved the skin of Jinyiwei, and only the emperor can adjust it.
"As for that Zangba Khan, this ......" Yang Reform thought about it, to be honest, in the entire late Ming Dynasty, this Zangba Khan had a fairly harmonious relationship with the Ming Dynasty, and Yang Reform didn't have much opinion on him, whether he wanted to support that Zangba Khan or something else, Yang Reform couldn't be sure for a while. …… As far as the minister knows, the place where Wusi Zang is barren and the climate is harsh, and Jiāo Tong is even more inconvenient, even if the Gushi Khan really wants to lead the army over, I am afraid that after years of conspiracy and arrangement, it is impossible to call in a hurry, and the minister thinks that the Zangba Khan of Wusi Zang still has the ability to deal with it in the short term...... "Yuan Chonghuan saw that the emperor was very hesitant, and immediately came out to support the emperor. …,
"Well, it makes sense...... Yang Reform thought about it, and felt that it made sense, that place was inconvenient, even if it was really fought now, it was impossible for him to leave the affairs of Liaodong and the desert and take care of his affairs, and he had to clean up Huang Taiji and Lin Dan Khan step by step, and besides, it was better to fight in that place of Wusizang, even if it was better to destroy that Zangba Khan, thinking that the new territory that Gushi Khan had just occupied, it must be unstable internally, and it seemed more convenient to go to the conquest by himself, Yang Reform, who has figured it out, already has an idea, and it is indeed necessary to strengthen vigilance and prepare plans and countermeasures in advance, but he should watch the drama even more, from the perspective of the interests of the country, he still has to wait, and he has to solve his own affairs at leisure, as for the life and death of others, what does it matter to himself? Wait for you to fight to the death, and then go and clean up the mess yourself. “…… Let's do it, He Qing's family, that monk, is still entertained by your Ministry of Rites, send someone to take him around for a tour, take a good look at the scenery of my Daming, see the wealth of my Daming, as for the matter of asking for help, it can be delayed, it really can't be prevaricated, just say that I want to investigate the situation and collect intelligence...... "Yang Gai said. This is the matter of Zangba Khan and that Shengu Shi Khan, far outside the control of the Ming Dynasty, and now the Ming Dynasty has retreated to Jiayu Pass, and Yang Reform does not have so much mind to take care of the affairs outside Jiayu Pass.
"Back to Your Majesty, the minister understands,...... The minister still has something to ask Your Majesty, Your Majesty, about the title? He Rupet asked again, feeling quite unhappy, the matter of his Ministry of Rites was actually given by the Ministry of War, and he was the reporter in this matter, and the Ministry of War was the participant, or even half of the decision-maker, this is the difference, it is also a book, why is the gap so big? He Ruzhong felt that he was really not treated by the emperor, so he had to think of a way, and it was not a way to go on like this.
"The ban? Leave him alone, everything is ...... put on hold," Yang replied without thinking.
[There is indeed a matter of Wusi Tibetan monks coming to the Ming Dynasty, which is almost this time in the book. As for the people who came, the otaku can only be one méng, méng is right, count the luck, no méng forgive everyone, it's all about writing a novel. 】
