Chapter 128: Expanding the Territory, Eternal Achievement
Zhu Qizhen circled several places on the map, from Beihai to the Erguna River, followed by Beihaiwei, Tainingwei, Duoyanwei, and Fuyuwei.
Further to the east is the Haixi Jurchen and the savage Jurchen sphere of influence, the imperial court has set up the Nuer Gandu Division, the jurisdiction of a number of detention guards, to the Renzong, Xuanzong period, considering the serious loss of national strength, then take the policy of recuperation, and finally decided to give up the entire Nuer Gandu Division.
Now, it's time to get it back!
"I'm going to restart the Wudi Hewei, leading the east of the Erguna River to the estuary, including the entire Mohe River and the Wudi River Basin, but the name of the Wudi Hewei is not good, let's change it to Mohewei!"
Wu's Hewei was the northernmost guard of the Ming Dynasty, set up in Yongle for five years, and was later abandoned by Emperor Xuanzong, because Wu's river was the name of a local Jurchen tribe, Zhu Qizhen was very disgusted with the Jurchens, so it was recommended to change the name of the guard.
Everyone looked at the map, and Mohewei and the four guards in front of them were connected in a line, which was roughly equivalent to the northern border during the Yuan Dynasty.
Although many places in the northeastern part of Liaoning are still occupied by barbarians, as long as Mohewei is built, these places will be conveniently cut off from the north, and within a few years, they will all become the territory actually controlled by the Ming Dynasty.
In this way, the territory of the Ming Dynasty has expanded to the north by at least thirty percent!
Such a great achievement is comparable to Emperor Taizong!
"Yu Qian!"
"The minister is here!"
"Tell me, who is more appropriate for Mohewei to hand over?"
Yu Qian didn't think about it, so he said: "The minister recommends the well horse." ”
Zhu Qizhen nodded and asked, "Jing Qing, what do you think?" ”
Jing Yuan hurriedly saluted and said: "The minister will go all out to live up to the emperor's grace!" ”
Zhu Qizhen vaguely remembered that three contracts were signed between the Manchu government and Tsarist Russia in later generations, ceding a large amount of Liaodong land to Tsarist Russia, including the land he had just demarcated.
He was now thinking not only about territory, but also about the vast expanse of the sea with the Chantal and Sakhalin islands, and the ice-free port of Vladivostok in the south.
These marine resources and islands may seem of little value now, but they will play a vital role in the future Age of Discovery.
Therefore, the candidate for Mohewei must be a person who is strong enough and absolutely trusts him.
In terms of relatives, Jing Yuan is his eldest uncle.
At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, when the emperor chose a horse, he would give priority to those who had military merits. Well originated from a small study, at the same time love to practice martial arts, when he heard the war in the north, he decided to put pen to paper, since then, his military talent has been brought into play, made great achievements, and was appreciated by Emperor Xuanzong, married the eldest princess of Jiaxing, and awarded the horse captain.
It's a pity that the eldest princess of Jiaxing died of illness in the fourth year of orthodoxy at the age of 30.
In the fourteen years of orthodoxy, Jing Yuan served as his attendant, except for Fan Zhong, the most trusted person was him.
This Northern Expedition is even more of a great achievement, and the Jianzhou Sanwei Plough Court sweeps the holes, which is indispensable.
Brave and resourceful, loyal, as Yu Qian said, Jing Yuan is the most suitable candidate.
Zhu Qizhen nodded slowly, and said solemnly: "The northern barrier of the Ming Dynasty will be handed over to the Qing family!" ”
Jing Yuan was greatly moved, knelt down and said: "The minister will never give up!" ”
Next, Zhu Qizhen threw the stall to Yu Qian again.
Now the general direction has been very clear, and it is enough to have Yu Qian for specific matters.
Three days later, Yu Qian took out a detailed charter.
After Zhu Qizhen opened it, he took a closer look, including how to arrange the migration route of Duoyan Sanwei, what help the imperial court should provide, the selection of Mohewei's station, the rationing of food and weapons, how many post stations need to be established from the Beijing division to the north, and so on......
"The Legend of the Fairy Tree"
It also includes post-planning and even short-term and long-term goals.
All in all, the charter is as detailed as it gets.
Sure enough, professional people do professional things, and it is right to hand over important government affairs to Yu Qian.
Zhu Qizhen felt very satisfied, the turmoil in Mobei had subsided, and the follow-up development plan was also put on the agenda, so he could return to the court!
"Who?"
"Let me in!"
"Bold! This is the emperor's big tent of the Chinese army, and you are not allowed to enter without being summoned! ”
"I want to see the emperor!"
A rough voice, speaking in broken Chinese, made a noise outside the camp gate.
Immediately afterwards, someone shouted: "Sabtan, Hugh is unreasonable!" ”
This voice is a little familiar, as if Duo Yanwei commanded A'er to beg.
The voice just now said: "A'er beggar, I won't tell you, I'll tell the emperor!" ”
"Don't make trouble, what's the matter, let's talk about it later!"
Zhu Qizhen asked suspiciously, "What's going on outside?" ”
"Go out and have a look!"
Fan Zhong turned around and came to the camp gate, and saw Ah Er's beggar pulling a middle-aged man with gray hair.
"What's going on?"
Ah Er hurriedly said: "It's nothing, it's our own business, don't work with General Fan!" ”
As he spoke, he dragged the other man away, but the man seemed to be very dissatisfied, and struggled to break free.
"A'er beggar, you can't be the master of this matter, I want to see the emperor!"
"Sabtan, you don't look at where this is, how can you let it go?"
The middle-aged man named Shabhutan seemed to be very angry and didn't know what to do for a while.
At this time, I heard someone in the tent say, "Fan Zhong, let them in!" ”
Only then did Fan Zhong turn sideways and signal the two of them to enter the account.
When Shabhutan saw this, he walked inside, and A'er was worried that he would cause trouble, so he hurried to follow.
"Weichen A'er begs to see the emperor!"
Ah Er turned his head to see that Sha Bhutan was still standing stupidly, reached out to pull his arm, and tugged hard.
Sabhutan will understand, and also follow the example of A'er begging, and bow and bow.
Zhu Qizhen put aside the charter in his hand and said, "What's noisy?" Get up and talk back! ”
"The Emperor's ......"
Shabutan stood up, and as soon as he spoke, he was stopped by A'er Beggar again.
"Emperor Xie!"
After Ah Er finished speaking, Sabtan reacted, and said in the same way: "Thank you, Emperor! ”
Zhu Qizhen looked at the two of them and said, "Say, what's going on?" ”
Ah Er was worried that Shutan was talking nonsense, so he took the initiative to tell the story.
It turned out that Sabtan was the leader of the Gollus tribe under the command of Doyan Wei, and his daughter Alta Galqin married Totobuhua as his wife and gave birth to a child named Moruntaiji, but just half a year ago, Alta Galqin was blinded, his tongue cut out, and he was sent back on the grounds of fornication with his subordinates.
When encountering this kind of thing, Sablan had to break his teeth and swallow it in his stomach, who let his daughter do something unseemly!
However, after a few days, a maid escaped and brought back the truth.
According to her, the fact that the woman had been mutilated was not with her subordinates, but because of a quarrel with another wife, Tokhtar.
This crossbow has a great background, and it is the sister of Warayexian.
Both wives have sons, which raises the question of heirs, so the two usually have a very unpleasant quarrel.
However, Altagalqin's son Moruntaiji is the eldest son, and the probability of becoming the heir is very high.
Jealous, he devised a poisonous plan to lure Alta Galqin to a tent where he was deployed, and then this scene "happened" to be seen by Tokhtambu......
After Sabtan learned the truth of the matter, he was almost angry, and he was always looking for an opportunity to avenge his daughter.
However, seeing that they were all chased to the difficult river, the imperial court actually ordered the garrison not to chase them.
How can this work?
Therefore, Sabtan asked A'er Beggar for his life, asking to continue the pursuit of Tokhtobuhua, but A'er Beggar had already received the holy decree, and his current task was to garrison the River of Trouble, not to rush north.
Sablan was really angry, so there was the scene just now.
After listening to what happened, Zhu Qizhen couldn't help but nod and said: "It's really too deceitful, so let's do it, I will issue an additional two hundred flintlock pistols and two light artillery pieces to the Guoerlus Department, and your task is to kill this old dog!" ”
Shabutan was very moved, and knelt down again and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty!" ”
A'er is a little confused, this is ...... Two hundred more guns, and two more guns?
I knew that I would cry with you, and I was wronged......
Zhu Qizhen had other plans, and the three guards of Duoyan were stationed in the Difficult River, and as the defender, they were always passive.
Tokhtar will only attack when he is well prepared, otherwise, he will find a place to hibernate.
If there is a force and horses that can go out to attack and make it exhausted, how can we talk about development?
The Golros tribe is like a hunting dog on the grassland, they will sniff the trail and constantly attack Totobuhua.
Muskets and cannons are their fangs and claws, and the court will continue to support them and ensure that they have enough strength to hunt their prey.
At this point, Zhu Qizhen finally put his mind at ease, Mobei has been decided, and the Northern Yuan will cease to exist.
Since Emperor Taizu, for a hundred years, the grievances between the Ming Dynasty and the Northern Yuan Dynasty have finally ended!
