The emperor of the Han family was really very majestic, and Ji Bei could meet with the envoys, and he felt pressured after a distance of two zhang.

The envoys bowed, and Gibeko's cousin Alteng was the first to speak: "Your Majesty the Emperor, my brother said that the ancestors of Kazakhstan came from China, and China is the ancestral country of all Kazakhs. My brother is a Kazakh khan and asks His Majesty to canonize the king. From now on, for generations, Kazakhs have been loyal to the Chinese emperor. ”

Zhao Han smiled and said, "How did I hear that your brother is not even unified with Zhongyuzi, let alone a Kazakh Great Khan. ”

Since he was sent to be the head of the envoy, Altenn was able to speak well, and he had already prepared his words: "My uncle Jangar Khan was once the co-lord of the Kazakhs, and therefore the king of the Kazakh Khanate. ”

"In this case, the Ministry of Rites was ordered to write the canonization document and engrave the gold seal of the Kazakh king." Zhao Han pushed the boat down the river, and it was as if it was true.

Central Asia belongs to the land of four wars, and even if it is reunified, it will not be strong for a long time, and it will be a big chaos in thirty or fifty years.

Moreover, after reunification, Kazakhstan has a better direction of expansion. Only when the brain is stupid will they go over the mountains and mountains to attack Xinjiang, not to mention the hard work of the battle, and there are still mountains, deserts, and the Gobi everywhere after the battle.

Kazakhstan really has that strength, isn't it fragrant to fight Persia?

Zhao Han's vision for China's western frontier was to take Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan, rely on the mountainous areas there to build pass defenses, and only need a small garrison to ensure border security in Xinjiang. As for the more westerly regions, they will support the subject nations and disturb the localities.

Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan are China's western gateways, and Kazakhstan is China's watchdog.

In addition, in the north of Xinjiang, it occupies the Yenisei River basin and the Altai region. Connecting the Yenisei, Altai, and Xinjiang together can not only effectively defend against Tsarist Russia, but also condescend to prevent Kazakhstan from rebelling.

Tou Kehan, a young man, made Zhao Han feel very satisfied.

not only sent the sister-in-law, but also offered a lot of goods, and the excellent war horses paid a tribute of 500 horses, which gave our Emperor Zhao enough face.

If you have to return the gift, the dowry should also be counted.

Zhao Han was rarely generous, and gave 800 flintlock smoothbore guns, a number of ammunition, 1,000 sets of cotton armor, and ten pairs of clairballs. He also gave silk, cotton cloth, tea, and iron pots, all of which were needed by the steppe peoples.

With these supplies, the Touk Khan should be able to unify the Central Yuz more quickly, and then unify the entire Kazakh Khanate by force.

The Turghut Khanate and the Kazakh Khanate are all vassal states of China, and Tsarist Russia will be given a great headache, and it is purely a fool's dream to want to expand wildly.

Waving his hand to let the Kazakh envoy stand down, Princess Jibeke was taken to learn etiquette, and he was sent to the harem on an auspicious day.

Zhao Han still doesn't know that this Kazakh girl is only fourteen years old, and she has developed like sixteen or seventeen years old.

Arriving with the Kazakh mission, there was also intelligence north of the Tien Shan Mountains.

A civil war broke out in Warat Mongolia, and the Heshute Department and the Dzungar Department fought!

They fought fiercely decades ago.

The battle resulted in the victory of the Dzungar tribes, the Turghut tribes and the Dulbert tribes were forced to move westward to the Caspian Sea, and Gushi Khan moved to Qinghai-Tibet with some Heshute tribes. There were also some Heshute tribes, although they remained north of the Tien Shan Mountains, but nominally obeyed the Great Khan of Dzungar.

Of course, Gushi Khan left on his own initiative, and he did become the leader of the Warat Alliance.

Now, the descendants of Gushi Khan have returned to the Tianshan Mountains, and they have brought tens of thousands of people over to merge with the Heshute tribe who stayed there. They plundered Hami and Turpan for many years, and they were originally very happy, but they attracted the jealousy of the Dzungar tribe.

Last year, a large-scale war broke out between the two ministries because of the pasture problem.

They are all defeated generals of the Datong army, and the rookies peck each other, and they are evenly matched. But there is a secret weapon in the Heshute Department, that is, Galdan, although a young man is nothing, he is also the identity of the H Buddha and the son of the previous Great Khan!

The Heshute tribe could not win, so he sent 2,000 people to Galdan and asked him to return to the Dzungar tribe as a-stirring stick.

Galdan, who was only twenty-one years old, under the banner of avenging his brother, really led 2,000 troops to the Northern Expedition. More than 1,000 of the elder brothers' monks came to vote one after another, and there were many leaders of the Dzungar tribe, who chose to stand by and watch the show, not planning to meddle in the family affairs of the brothers competing for the throne.

Just this year, Galdan led 1,800 cavalry to defeat his brother Chechnya's 10,000-strong cavalry army and regain control of the Dzungaria.

The two ministries of Heshute and Dzungar agreed to live in peace and not interfere with each other. The Dzungar tribe expanded westward and attacked the Kazakh Zhongyuz; The Heshute division expanded southward, attacking Turpan and Hami.

But this peace is only temporary, and once the expansion is weak, civil war will inevitably break out again.

In connection with the situation in southern Xinjiang, Zhao Han called the military department and the civil and military forces of the Governor's Mansion: "This year, I will go to Gansu to stock up on logistics materials to prepare for next year's attack on the Western Regions." ”

"It's long overdue!" Fei Ruhe said with a smile.

After Fei Ruhe completely lost the right to command the army, his relationship with Zhao Han became closer, and his speech became more casual.

Lu Xiangsheng is 65 years old and has served as the secretary of the military department for many years. He wanted to take the Western Regions before leaving office, and reminded at this time: "You can send an envoy to order Hami to be attached, because that is the homeland of the former Ming Dynasty." Not just nominally attached, the imperial garrison must be agreed. If you don't follow, the teacher will be famous. ”

"That's how it should be." Zhao Han nodded.

If you are a big country, you still have to be faced, and you can't indiscriminately conquer the vassal forces, even if you make it up, you have to find a reasonable excuse.

What's more, this time it's not a blind fabrication, but a real desire to recover the homeland of the Ming Dynasty.

Due to the civil strife in Yarkand, the two kings are still facing each other, and it is impossible for Hami and Turpan to have reinforcements, and the Datong army can be taken in minutes after killing.

Lu Xiangsheng said again: "Your Majesty, next year's conquest of the Western Regions, will you only take Turpan and Hami, or will you annex all the Yarkand Kingdom?" ”

"Swallow it all." Zhao Han said.

Annexation of Yarkand, Xinjiang will take half of it.

Moreover, it can block the expansion space of the Heshute Ministry, force the Heshute Ministry, and the Junggar Ministry, so that the civil war will break out again between the two brothers and sisters.

Zhao Han added: "I heard that there is a detachment of fanatic believers in Hami, and whether they surrender or not, they will all be killed!" ”

Lu Xiangsheng suddenly said: "Your Majesty, you must emigrate. ”

Zhao Han nodded and said: "Order the training divisions of the provinces to recruit peasant soldiers who volunteer to go to the Western Regions, and train a new army of 5,000 people. Hami, Turpan, Aksu, Kashgar, and Yarkand, after the defeat was defeated, 1,000 garrisons in each city, and 5,000 families of the new army were also brought over. ”

The population of the whole country has increased, and the contradiction between man and land has begun to be revealed.

There are too many men in the family, and there are those who are willing to break through, and taking their wives and children to the Western Regions to serve as soldiers can improve the living conditions of the whole family.

These 5,000 people belong to the garrison of the city, and in addition, the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate will be set up, and the Metropolitan Protectorate will arrange thousands of mobile troops. In the coming decades, it is estimated that there will be sporadic rebellions, which will require iron-blooded rule to settle down.

Lu Xiangsheng said: "Your Majesty, the number is not enough. ”

Zhao Han pondered: "If you recruit another 50,000 men, you must bring your wife, and if you go to the Western Regions, you can divide the land, and let them build a Mintun in the Western Regions." Give them leather armor and knives and guns, and they can protect themselves at critical times, at least until the reinforcements from the Metropolitan Protectorate arrive. ”

Fei Ruhe said speechlessly: "50,000 men with wives, all of a sudden is 100,000 immigrants, or immigrants to the Western Regions, how much silver does it cost." ”

Lu Xiangsheng said: "These 100,000 immigrants are just the right people to send troops next year. They escorted the grain and grass over, so they didn't have to go back to their hometowns, and looked for suitable places for cultivation in the Western Regions to form a number of villages. ”

"There is a lot of food, and at least 100,000 immigrants must be prepared for half a year's rations. Ox carts were used to transport grain and grass, and after the war, cattle were distributed to immigrants for farming. Fei Ruhe said.

It is normal for everyone to be worried, it has been lost outside Jiayu Pass for hundreds of years, and there are few Han people left, and it is impossible to gain a firm foothold if it is not a big immigration.

As for arable land, there is.

Yarkand itself was fighting a civil war, and was plundered by the Mongols for many years, and the land in many places was deserted. Next year, there will be a war, and many people will die, and the vacant land will be allocated to Han immigrants.

The imperial court made a plan, and the huge state apparatus was quickly put into operation.

The food factory under the Ministry of War makes military rations around the clock, and uses rice flour to make traditional compressed biscuits. Grain from Taiwan, Hainan, Guangnan and Nanyang was also transported to Tianjin by ship, via the Grand Canal to Xuzhou, and then all the way to Shaanxi and Gansu for storage.

The provincial training departments, with the cooperation of the government, recruited immigrants and peasants for training.

The immigrants mainly came from the south, because the contradictions between people and land in the north were not serious. Moving from the warm south to the Western Regions, only if there are too many men in the family, they are willing to sign up, and they have to give enough settling-in expenses.

In autumn, the heat dissipates slightly.

Ji Beke was finally sent to the harem, and her Chinese was also more proficient, so simple communication was no problem.

Her personal palace maid also came to marry.

"Will the emperor drink and beat people?" The palace maid was a little worried.

Ji Bei laughed and said: "The emperor is a great hero, and he is not a drunken maniac. He allowed us to wear Kazakh clothes, which showed that he was very generous and should not beat women. ”

The two girls of different races were talking, when suddenly there was a rumor that the emperor was coming, and they hurried to the door to greet them.

"Let's go in and sit." Zhao Han said with a smile.

Ji Beike lowered his head and didn't dare to look at the emperor, but he was curious in his heart, he was too far away to meet that day, and he didn't really see the emperor's appearance.

After taking two steps, Ji Beike suddenly looked directly at the emperor, wanting to see what the emperor really looked like.

Zhao Han has changed from a handsome guy to a charming uncle. The skin is well maintained, but it is very tiring to deal with government affairs, and gray hair has gradually grown before the age of 50. If you don't look closely, you can't see it, but if you look closely, you can always find a few gray hairs.

Between the lips and nose, there is a small mustache, and the beards in other places are cleanly shaved.

The belly is already there, the characteristics of a middle-aged man, fortunately it has not turned into a beer belly, and Emperor Zhao's body management is not good.

Zhao Han was also looking at Ji Beike, and he was a little surprised, this Kazakh girl can go directly to the camera to make a movie without makeup. It is estimated that it is the reason for mixed race, and it is pampered, with fair and smooth skin, and clear and delicate facial features as if it had been edited with a computer.

Ji Beike was originally quite bold, but when the emperor looked at him for a while, he was a little shy, and he actually took Dongbula and said, "I'll sing to Your Majesty." ”

"You sing." Zhao Han sat down with a smile.

Jibeke actually sang a long poem, and the singing did not end for several minutes.

Zhao Han didn't interrupt, this interracial song was quite interesting, although he couldn't understand what he was singing.

waited until she finished singing, Zhao Han asked, "What is this song called?" ”

Jibeke said: ""Kozi Kul Pash and Bayansulu (also known as Kozi Boy and Bayan Beauty) is a long love poem for our Kazakhs. ”

In fact, it is not exclusive to the Kazakhs, this long poem has been circulated throughout Central Asia and has been born for hundreds of years.

"It seems to be a beautiful story." Zhao Han said with a smile.

"The boy's name is Kozi and the girl's name is Bayan, and their father is married. But when Kozi's father died, life was difficult, and Bayan's father did not want to marry his daughter, so he moved the family far, far away. The girl's family had 90,000 horses, and in order to solve the problem of water supply, they promised her to Kudar......"

Zhao Han couldn't help laughing: "It's still a stream of regret for marriage." ”

Gibeke continued: "Bayan can't forget his sweetheart, so when he moved, he left earrings, bracelets, and shepherd's sticks along the way to mark them. Later, the sticks she left behind grew leaves. Following these marks, Kozi finally found Bayan. But Bayan's father and his new fiancé teamed up to kill Kozi. In order to take revenge, Bayan stabbed his fiancé to death with a short sword, and then committed suicide. ”

Zhao Handi muttered: "The Central Asian version of "Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai", as well as the European "Romeo and Juliet", why are there almost the same love masterpieces all over the world? ”

"What did Your Majesty say?" Gibeco didn't understand.

Zhao Han glanced at her waist: "You also have a short sword, right?" ”

Gibeko said, "It was taken away." ”

Zhao Han said: "Autumn is coming, I will take you to hunt on horseback tomorrow." ”

"Okay!" Gibeke was overjoyed.

The emperor had a new love, and the people in the palace soon knew about it, because the emperor slept at Gibek's for three nights in a row.
