Chen Yucheng and his entourage went around the top of the stone wall. Time flies. The years eroded. The one that shimmered with the eternal brilliance of the frontier of the Ming Dynasty. Yongning Temple, which used to be full of incense and bells. Now it has long lost its former glory. Reduced to ruins. Remove the faintly recognizable broken, a few lonely temple trees that have been through vicissitudes. Even due to the snow cover and clumps of vegetation. Even the outline of the complete foundation of Yongning Temple is no longer recognizable. There are only these two granite stone tablets carved with Han, Jurchen, Mongolian and Tibetan characters with great vitality. Still silently sticking to it all the time. Tell the people who discovered and caressed it about its former glory. There is also helpless desolation.

Chen Yucheng squatted in front of the stele. It's like facing two cute babies. Carefully stroked the two stone tablets for a while.

"Master Gu, Lord Jing. Do you know where they came from? ”

"This ......" heard Chen Yucheng's question. Jing Chun was stunned. I couldn't help but look at Gu Qing, who was also at a loss. "This ......"

"Master Chen...... I...... I really hadn't heard of it before......" Guqing at this time. It's quite blunt.

Chen Yucheng nodded. Then stand up. He put the hand that had touched the stele under his nose and sniffed. It seems to be experiencing the refreshing taste of the stone stele. Half a day. He glanced at his men. "When I was in Ningguta. I've heard some old people talk about it. ”

"During the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty. That is our Chinese history, the people are rich and the country is strong. The territory is vast. A prosperous period of fame overseas. The huge fleet led by Zheng He sailed to the West seven times to form a good friend. I'm sure you'll all know. Forgotten by everyone. But it is precisely the one who left these two stone tablets that is also lost. This is the fleet led by Yishaha. He has sailed the lower reaches of the Heilongjiang River ten times. appease the barbarians. The arduous process of expanding the territory of the Ming Dynasty. Definitely not inferior to Zheng He. ”

"Speak of it. Zheng He and Yishiha are two amazing figures. Not only are they all eunuchs trusted by Emperor Yongle back then. And they are all from ethnic minorities. Let's talk about Zheng He first. He was a Hui who embraced Islam. And what about the loss of Ha? He is a Mongolian who believes in Lamaism. back then. They were all envoys directly appointed by the emperor. One to the west. One to the east. They all went to the wild area by land and water to promote the civilization of the Ming Dynasty. ”

"After the Ming Dynasty overthrew the rule of the Yuan Dynasty. In the northeastern districts, a strategy of combining military conquest and appeasement was adopted to govern the frontiers. back then. It stretches from the Nan River in the west to Sakhalin Island in the east. In the vast area from the south to the south of the Outer Khingan Mountains to the Sea of Japan, the Ming Dynasty first set up more than 200 military bases. That is, the guard. In this way, a powerful deterrent of force will be formed first. Then send envoys. Widely appeased the chiefs of the ethnic minorities under their jurisdiction. to serve as the governor of the party to manage. As a result, the territory of the Ming Dynasty was expanded to the coast of the Sea of Okhotsk. ”

"Back then. That is, at the same time that Zheng He was ordered to lead the fleet to the Western Ocean. The Yongle Emperor sent another of his cronies, the eunuch, who was given an important mission. Began to organize shipbuilding in Ashhada, Jilin. Prepare for a long voyage to the northeast. That year. For the first time, he escorted officials sent by the imperial court. Sail all the way to the vicinity of the mouth of the Heilongjiang River. That's where we are now. and at the request of the chief. The Nuer Gandu Command Division of the Ming Dynasty was established. ”

"This Nurgandus. It is equivalent to the highest military and political management body of our province. Therefrom. The direct administration of the Ming Dynasty central power over this district began. And that's not all. In order to strengthen the connection between the Nuer Gandu Division and the interior. The Ming Dynasty also opened up 55 post stations along the Songhua River into the Heilongjiang River. At that time, it was called Haixi Dongshuilu City Station. The establishment of Nuer Gandusi and the opening of the post station. It also paved the way for Yishaha's later nine eastern tours. ”

For the second time, he led a river fleet of twenty-five large ships. In total, more than a thousand followers were loaded, as well as a large number of items. Set sail from Jilin. Re-enter Heilongjiang through the Songhua River. After several months of sailing. Arrived again in the Ming Dynasty's Fang regime, Nuer Gandusi's Terlin. Over here. On behalf of the Yongle Emperor, Yishaha rewarded the civil and military officials stationed in the Nuer Gandu Division. When the head of the ethnic minority. And the temple was built. While offering to the Bodhisattva. I also hope for eternal peace and stability in the frontier. So. The temple was named Yongning Temple. It is meant to pray for the blessing of the Buddha. Enjoy peace forever. After the temple was built. Erection of monuments. Thus there is this first stone tablet that is five feet high and two feet wide. ”

"Twenty years later. That is, the sixth year of Xuande. Also lost for the tenth time. It was also the last time in his life that he led a fleet of fifty large ships and more than 2,000 horses. Once again, he came to Thelin. On patrol. He also found that although the people here are the same. But only Yongning Temple was destroyed. Its foundation exists. So I feel very sad. On the one hand, he immediately held the officials responsible for the lack of protection of Yongning Temple. On the other hand, he ordered all the craftsmen to bring with him. Rebuild Yongning Temple on the original site. So there is a record of the monument being erected again. This is where the second stele, which is six feet high and three feet wide, comes from. ”

After talking about the origin of the stele. Chen Yucheng looked back at the hundreds of meters behind him. Four hundred years ago, there was a flat place where Nu'er Gandu commanded the Yamen. He also looked at the towering palace mountain where the mixed river of the envoy made a bend in the distance. "The preservation of these two steles. Not only did we tell us that as early as the Ming Dynasty, Nuer Gandusi managed the vast area of the lower reaches of the Heilongjiang River. And as recorded on the stone tablet, the envoy of the Ming Dynasty announced the pacification. Bestow a knight and give a reward. The experience of its people's please. The names and surnames of many officials and craftsmen of the time are recorded. The facts with iron facts show the north bank of the Heilongjiang River and the east bank of the Ussuri River. As far as Sakhalin Island, it has been my Chinese territory since ancient times. It also completely shattered what some people were clamoring for. That's a shameless lie that the Manchus are my China in order to retain the largest territorial area. "Speaking of which. Chen Yucheng looked at Gu Qing and Jing Chun, who had a little fever on their faces. Hehe smiled. "We used three armies of the Northern Military District and the Northeast Military District on the Western Front. It lasted two months. Now Nebuchu, who has finally recovered, is waiting. These were originally from the Chinese genus during the Yongle and Xuande periods. Isn't it precisely in the hands of your so-called Holy Ancestor Kangxi. Is it completely lost in the end? Am I right? ”

"Facts...... This is indeed the case. But ......" Jing Chun had already lowered his head quickly. Guqing without saying a word. Some looked at Chen Yucheng disapprehantly. "Still. This matter should be looked at from another aspect. Otherwise, it would be biased. ”

"My Holy Ancestor Emperor is a martial artist. The Nebuchu contract of that year was also won by force. If it weren't for the fact that Tsarist Russia was scared back then. They won't be willing to sign this contract. After all, this contract was successfully signed. We have won nearly 170 years of peace. There was no peace for long. Where did Guotai and the people come from? ”

Jing Chun was talking about the martial arts that Emperor Shengzu had displayed back then. I couldn't help but show a proud glow on my face. "Also. Over the years. It is true that there are people who privately spread some remarks that the Nebuchu contract is unfair. Tsarist Russia said. Because they were losers at the time. Jue's self was coerced. Of course, I was very aggrieved. And the Chinese say the same. That's not quite right. As far as I know. Back then, the Holy Ancestor Emperor had gone through repeated deliberations and trade-offs. before I made up my mind. The final decision was made to abandon Nebuchu and others west of the Ergunne River. Because. The Holy Ancestor Emperor had his difficulties. ”

"The Holy Ancestor Emperor faced far more vicious enemies than Tsarist Russia. There are also problems with Qinghai, Tibet, and so on. The greater threat was before the Treaty of Nebuchu. has already hit from the old nest of Ili to Geldan in Khalkha Mongolia in Mobei. At the same time, the Holy Ancestor Emperor had to face Tsarist Russia, which had already started a war. They also have to prepare to deal with the two enemies of the north and south, the menacing Gerdan, who is about to have a big war breaking out. Faced with this situation. The only choice of the Holy Ancestor Emperor. Only one of the closest and most threatening enemies must be dealt with first. And at the time. Apparently the threat from Gerdan is even greater. So. Only the Holy Ancestor Emperor would ask for a negotiating minister. Immediately sign a peace treaty with Russia. Stop the possible continued invasion of Tsarist Russia. In order to free up his hands to deal with the Geldan who had already occupied the entire Mobei Khalkha. First of all, the problem of Mobei Khalkha should be completely solved. ”

The more Jing Chun spoke, the more passionate he became. Even dancing with their hands. "The Holy Ancestor Emperor is wise. It was precisely because of the timely halting of the footsteps of Tsarist Russia. The Holy Ancestor Emperor will be personally conquered three times. It lasted seven years. In the end, the rebellious Geldan committed suicide in desperation. forced his daughter to burn her body. Hold his ashes, please surrender. Emperor Shengzu was solemnly surrendered at Kulen. Later, the assembly of the Outer Mongolian tribes. and established the first Minister of Affairs in Kulen. At this point, the entire Mobei Khalkha has completely surrendered to our Qing Dynasty and is under the direct jurisdiction of the Qing Dynasty. ”

"yes. Your Holy Ancestor Emperor is truly wise. Tan Shaoguang looked at Jing Chun, who had already begun. Hehe smiled. "It is said that before the treaty was signed. Tsarist troops stationed in the city of Yaksa. It has been surrounded by more than 2,000 of your Qing troops for a long time. And. The Tsarist Russian army that invaded the city of Yaksa at that time. Or die in battle. or starved to death, as many as six or seven hundred. At last. There were only sixty or seventy men left in the city. In this case. Your Holy Ancestor Emperor not only ordered that the Qing army should not be allowed to seize the city. It was also not allowed to cut off the logistical supply of the Tsarist Russian army in the city. Originally. Your Holy Ancestor Emperor does not want to truly resist the invasion. And it's just taking this opportunity to think about peace. In your words. This is also called the right strategic choice. ”

"There is a great and small loss in all things. There is more urgency. Moment of truth. Of course, it is necessary to choose the small evil. Jing Chun glanced at Tan Shaoguang nonchalantly.

"Hahaha......" Tan Shaoguang couldn't help but laugh when Jing Chun said. Choose small harms and do them. Hehe. Well said. We are in the camp of the Golden Field. Sweeping across the country. To your Great Qing Dynasty. Of course, there is no doubt that it will be very harmful. So. There will be Yishan's shameless dog. Follow the example of your Holy Ancestor Emperor. Sell our soil again. In exchange for the greatest friendship of Tsarist Russia. Together, they have come to suppress us. (To be continued.) If you want to know what will happen next. Please lock in Aishang Novel Network.
