Chapter 270: King Yan's hegemony

Thus began Ambassador Yang's infiltration program.

This is also perfect for Ha Zhi, who will have to rely on the power of the alien race if he wants to rule the land in the future.

Rulers!

Rather with friends than with house slaves!

There are employees sent by Yang Feng to engage in development in the city, and there are herdsmen from Ugqi Hashha outside the city.

As long as he serves these two families well, he will basically be able to live for thousands of generations.

Next, Yang Feng is going to build a Dawan company......

Zhu Di has officially played, asking Zhu Yuanzhang to seal Ha only as the king of Dawan, and Wugeqi Hashha as the commander of Dawan, and then the marquis.

He did not agree with Yang Feng's proposal to be crowned king, in his opinion, those forces that did not belong to the Yuan Dynasty in the past could give them a vassal king, such as King Hami Zhongshun, after all, they used to be in the Chagatai Khanate system, but the forces that belonged to the Yuan Dynasty in the past should be directly under the Ming Dynasty, and then the marquis and hereditary commander, so that all the Yuan Dynasty belonged to the Ming Dynasty were included in the direct jurisdiction of the Ming Dynasty.

Of course, the main thing is for his own sake.

In the future, he wants to establish a state in the Western Regions, even if according to the custom, all the commanders in the Western Regions must be controlled by him.

The same is true for Mahamu.

He also asked Mahamu to be a marquis, and the hereditary Kunling was the commander of the envoy and the commander of the envoy.

These two commanded the envoys to take the Tianshan Mountains as the boundary, Kunling in the north, Dawan in the south, the Ili River Valley in the middle, Atami, and Broken Leaves until Talas was the fief of King Yan, and in the future, Aksu to Tiemen Pass must be added, this has already begun to operate, and Maha has already run to complain to King Yan, saying that his nephew sent someone to poison him......

Of course, it was in the past that poisoned him.

Now his nephew is in Beshbali, and according to the time, he may not know that Shamichagan is dead, but his nephew has been suspicious of him in the past, although his brother treats him with affection, but his nephew has always been very suspicious of him, and has poisoned him in the past, but fortunately his brother has always defended him. Now that his brother is dead, his nephew will definitely not let him go after he succeeds to the throne, he begs King Yan to save his life, and he also tells King Yan a little secret, his nephew is probably not necessarily his brother's species.

Ha only testifies to him.

The latter obviously wanted their uncle and nephew to fight.

King Yan had already reported this matter to His Majesty the Emperor, and soon Yaerqiang and other cities would also give the Emperor a petition, the content of which was of course that they were unwilling to surrender.

Then Zhu Yuanzhang will send someone to investigate, and then the investigator will play to Zhu Yuanzhang and report the various crimes of King Bali, and those monks will also join the accusation.

In short, in the end, after careful consideration, His Majesty the Emperor decided to divide the territory of the King of Beshbali, part of it to Mahama, part of it to Nahei Lost Han, and part of it to King Yan as a fief, so that King Yan would isolate them from killing their uncles and nephews, which was also His Majesty the Emperor's order to take care of their uncles and nephews.

Of course, there will be some compensation for Nahei's loss.

Give him a title.

Given a surname.

The surname is Zhu.

What a great glory!

In the end, the future Western Regions will become Beiting, Anxi, Kunling, and Dawan four command envoys, one vassal king, and three vassal kings mixed with the command envoys, and the core of this system is, of course, His Royal Highness Yan Wang, the most honorable among them.

And then in fact, it was King Yan who controlled the Western Regions.

Perfect.

In addition, although the Hanhai Command Envoy does not belong to the Western Regions, because of the location, he must also listen to the temperance of King Yan.

The actual arrangement is not important, as long as the Yan King starts to develop in the Western Regions, Ghost Li Chi and Yue will definitely rely on trade with the Western Regions, and they will inevitably depend on the Yan King.

In this way, King Yan has a great future!

For this territory, it is enough to integrate the Eastern Crusade.

It is not excluded that Zhu Di has this thought, but there is definitely no at present, at least when Yang Feng is still alive, he will not have this kind of thought, but he will definitely not survive Yang Feng, so he should lay out the future, the next generation or even the next few generations, if he and Yang Feng are dead, Zhu Yunxi's next generation has no way to govern the country, and his next generation is a man of great talent, can't he rely on the Western Regions to move eastward to win the country?

The key is to have this foundation.

Governing the Western Regions well is his foundation.

This is none of Yang Feng's business.

What he wanted has been fulfilled.

This big melee in the Western Regions ended with Timur's admission of defeat, just when Timur led his army to retreat in a hurry and rushed back to meet Bayezet, Yang Feng and Zhu Di also hurriedly returned to southern Xinjiang with their own troops, and it was late to winter, when it was not easy to cross the Tianshan Mountains. The vassals also hurried back to their respective homes, and they also had to prepare for the long winter ahead, but fortunately, everyone could say that they had the joy of a good harvest, so this winter would be very comfortable.

There was wine, meat, and new women, and of course they were happy.

Although most of the ministries suffered many casualties, fortunately, they were all happy alive and full of gratitude to Ambassador Yang.

As for the dead......

I raise your wife.

Ambassador Yang and King Yan didn't even stop in southern Xinjiang, they went east as fast as they could, and Song Sheng could do the rest.

They led the Ming army, which was the first to participate in the western expedition, and soon left the Iron Gate Pass.

The fork force is lost in the north.

Uyong Burak Salt Lake.

"Didn't you say in Hami? Didn't you say four hundred miles of desert no man's land? Why can I see the oasis here?

It's an oasis, right? ”

Tan Yuan pointed to the camels wandering in the dry riverbed in the distance, munching on scattered camel thorns.

"This, you have to know that there is still a little error between us at that time and you now, do you understand the vicissitudes of life? We were in the desert at that time, and it was normal for you to be an oasis at this time, just a small error, not worth mentioning.

Besides, it's a dry riverbed, what oasis?

Camel thorns are also considered oases? ”

Yang Feng said.

"Hundreds of thousands of people died in the Western Regions because of this, just in exchange for your small error."

Zhang Fu sighed on the side.

This is their saltpeter mine.

Wuyong Bulak Salt Lake, this dry salt lake is an important source of potassium saltpeter, but this is not what was said when the Great War in the Western Regions was triggered, a few hundred miles away from Hami, all along the way is a desert no man's land, it can be said that I went to a place of nine deaths and a lifetime, and it is true that it is hundreds of miles away from Hami, after all, there are indeed hundreds of miles from Hami to Turpan.

But......

It is less than 100 miles away from the trade road from Turpan to the fork force.

In fact, this is a vast salt lake, and there are many mines in the entire mining area, and Yang Feng chose the closest one for them, so it is seventy or eighty miles away from the real oasis, that is, seventy or eighty miles, but in this era, because there is almost no population, the length of the seasonal river is generally much longer than that of modern times, and the length of the wet groundwater is much longer than that of modern times, so even if they can see it, they can still see scattered camel thorns, and occasionally wild camels are roaming.

Of course, to say that Oasis is an exaggeration.

If you walk a few dozen miles upstream, you will probably see vegetation that can barely graze.

"Stop talking nonsense, Lao Liu, hurry up and take a look."

Zhu Di said to the craftsmen beside him.

The latter hurried to a white saline field in front of him.

"I know what it means to kill people without seeing blood, a small error, and nearly thirty percent of the population will be lost."

Tan Yuan was still sighing.

Of course, no one pays attention to him now, Yang Feng is also looking at Lao Liu, this potash saltpeter mine is not a nitrate cave that the Ming Dynasty is used to, so he can't guarantee whether these craftsmen can distinguish it, after all, there are a lot of impurities in this dry salt lake, not only fire nitrate, but also miscanthus nitrate, and even other things. If he really can't do it, he can only ask Sister Liu to provide treatment technology, but soon Lao Liu scraped a lot, looked at the sun, and even licked it, and carefully ran into the sand to take the fire.

"King, it's true, it's just not pure enough, you need to go back and boil it."

He then walked up to Zhu Di and said.

"One person digs a pocket and takes it to Turpan."

Zhu Di said.

This is a natural dry salt lake, and the low-lying areas have long formed a salt crust, so you just need to scrape open this hard crust and take it away.

And as far as the eye can see, there are as many as you want.

Of course, there is a mess in it, and the rest depends on the boiling process of the craftsmen of this era.

However, this technology is now very mature, in fact, the biggest impurity is salt, but the crystallization temperature of sodium chloride and potassium nitrate is different, and it can be separated by a series of complex operations, and the rest is potassium nitrate, and then continue to purify in the same way, and also add radish and other adsorption impurities. In addition, the miscanthus nitrate, that is, sodium sulfate, will also be separated, in short, boiling nitrate is a very complex process, I have to say that without any systematic chemical knowledge, those craftsmen can complete this process with the knowledge passed down from generation to generation is also amazing.

His Royal Highness King Yan did it himself, and he also scraped a pocket, and he could see that he was very excited, this salt lake was his future!

In order to realize firearms, there must be nitrate, and there is no shortage of sulfur in the Western Regions, in fact, there is sulfur in the commodities traded by the Western Regions to the Ming Dynasty.

Now there is saltpeter again.

His great cause is in front of him.

In the end, all the Ming soldiers scraped a bag of salt plates based on potassium nitrate, and it was estimated that this mining would be enough for Zhu Di for a year.

Hundreds of thousands of catties.

Even if half of the ingredients in it are potassium nitrate, it is enough to prepare one million catties of gunpowder.

This is not boiling nitrate, this is directly a mineral, so the actual potassium nitrate content is extremely high.

After they arrived in Turpan, Zhu Di stopped, he did not receive the holy decree to let him return to the capital, he was still the commander of the Western Expedition, so he stayed in Turpan for the time being, waiting for his father's will, at this time Turpan has completely restored the original faith, even the scriptures buried in the past have been picked up, and the previous few beggar-like monks have also put on their robes again, as for the loss of the king of Bali......

Not yet.

Shami Chagan himself has not been officially canonized, in fact, the news of his father's death has just reached Zhu Yuanzhang at this time.

Not to mention the news of his death.

Besides, Nahei is still young, and all the troops of Don't lose Bali are marching westward, even if he wants to interfere, he is not capable.

Now that Turpan, Shanshan, Huozhou, and Fork Force have been united, only one of them has lost Bali City, and Nahei has not been destroyed by them, and he has already relied on the face of the Ming Emperor, and even in the future, he has no ability to control these cities. More than half of the descendants of his grandfather and his father who went to the Western Expedition were killed or wounded, and a large part of them were taken away by his uncle.

In the future, even if Zhu Yuanzhang crowns him as the king of Bali, he will only be a city lord of Bali.

In the future, if he is obedient, then Da Ming will let him be a king of peace in Bei Lost Bali, and if he is disobedient, he will not be able to resist if he is abolished by a holy decree.

In the past, his grandfather also relied on the Dugrat Department to suppress Turpan and other cities.

Now the Dugrat Department has broken with them, and they themselves have broken up, and their strength is not even a third of what it used to be.

Who can he control?

This result made Tan Yuan marvel at Yang Feng's insidiousness again.

It's not just don't lose eight miles, all the departments of the Western Expedition except for the Ming Army, all suffered heavy losses, Hami and Guanxi Guards went to a total of 20,000 cavalry twice, and finally went back 13,000, and the real first batch of elites went back only 5,000, and half died. The worst Ugqi Hashha, who was originally able to put together 30,000 cavalry, lost 10,000 in Kashgar alone, plus the later losses in the river, including those who followed Zhu Di, his group can actually gather 15,000 cavalry.

Kun Timur currently had 5,000 cavalry.

That is to say, the losses of the armies of the Western Expedition were one-third of the good conditions, half of the miserable points, and only the losses of the Ming army were less than two percent.

It can be said that after this battle, none of the forces in the Western Regions have the strength to fight.

As for the original Mongol Great Khan and the group of the Queros, in fact, more than half of them were lost, and they have now been divided into three groups, Guilichi, Mahamu, and Taiping.

The latter was not commanded by all.

But......

He was booked by Zhu Di as the commander of the guard.

It can be seen that this guy serves Zhu Di very comfortably, and is directly regarded by Zhu Di as a confidant, which is better than giving him a commander, even if his tribe is also under the gift of Zhu Di, he is currently entering the Ili River Valley nomadic and at the same time temporarily guarding the city of Yili.

The future city of the Yan Dynasty.

That is, Yining.

Yang Feng separated from Zhu Di in Turpan, and then returned with his own people and horses.

It was a huge process, more than seven thousand, and more than ten thousand horses and camels alone, but there were no other men among them except him and the hundred or so who dug the tunnels.

The rest were four hundred and fifty-six beautiful maidens who were honored by others.

Not counting Gu Lina, Gu Lina is now the Lord of Khujand City, counting the seeds he left in the Western Regions.

Then the others are all girls, 6,147 girls, and this is only the first batch, because the harvest in the river has not yet come, they will be brought back by Xu Huizu who returned after the spring next year, and now it is temporarily taken care of by Gu Lina, and this batch is even more numerous, with a total of more than 10,000, I have to say that Ambassador Yang's special hobby makes everyone amazed.

I have seen those who raise righteous daughters, but who has ever seen tens of thousands of righteous daughters?

Fortunately, it is a righteous woman, if this is a righteous man, it will be very terrifying.
