Chapter 271: To the West
When Yang Feng entered Jiayuguan, it was already early winter, and when he arrived in Suzhou, Zhu Yuanzhang gave Zhu Di the holy decree of moving the Western Regions to the world.
Of course, King Yan is still King Yan.
Knighthoods do not change with fiefdoms.
Zhu Yuanzhang's design of the Western Regions was completely in accordance with the previous suggestions of Yang Feng and Zhu Di.
The core is, of course, the Yan Kingdom.
It is bounded by the Baluntai in the east, the Jing River in the north, the Talas River in the west, and the Taklamakan Desert in the south.
This Baluntai is the throat of the Tianshan Mountains from the east, whether it is from Turpan or from Hutubi in the north or from the fork to the Ili River valley, you have to go to this mountain intersection, and the Jinghe River is the throat of the North Tianshan Mountains from the north, because it is divided into two, one is the Dengnu Lonely Terrace Road and one Guozigou, and there is no good place to cross the Talas River in the west and then to the west, that area is the best in the Chu River Basin, and the two ancient roads of Xia and Wusun in the south from the Ili River Valley to the south are in Yanguo.
The iron gate between the throat of southern Xinjiang and northern Xinjiang is also in Yan State.
It can be said that the traffic in the Western Regions is locked.
All other forces were isolated by the Yan State.
In addition, the guards of King Yan were increased to five, so as to avoid six easy to think of the six armies of the Son of Heaven, and the three guards who were originally in Beiping were under the command of the envoys in Beiping, in addition to the one guard that had been confirmed in Taiping, the imperial court selected four other guards for him, but among the soldiers who followed him on his expedition to the west, there were those who were willing to stay in the Western Regions, and they were all promoted to one level according to their original positions......
But in reality, there won't be many people willing to stay, that is, his cronies.
Ordinary soldiers and officers, who would want to go to the Western Regions, not to mention that this time everyone has made enough money, how good it is to go home and enjoy happiness!
Including the four guards promised by Zhu Yuanzhang, I am afraid it will be difficult to make up in a short time.
However, fortunately, before the arrival of these four guards, the current officers and troops in the Western Regions can only be withdrawn in batches, and this process may take two or three years, which is enough to complete the replacement.
There are more than 20,000 households in Siwei, plus thousands of herdsmen in Taiping, and there are actually a small number of residents who are difficult to say ethnic groups, in fact, there are Han people.
And Nahei lost only the surname Zhu, gave the name Zhu Yongzhong, changed Bei Bali to Tingzhou, changed Turpan to Gaochang, changed the fork force to Yanqi, together with Shanshan and Huozhou, the five cities and their cities were merged into Gaochang State.
Then Zhu Yongzhong was the king of Gaochang.
However, Chang Bali, which was originally attached to Bei Bali, was changed to Dihua, and the Beiting Command Department was set up in Dihua, and the Dihua Wei was set up in Dihua, and the east of Tiemen Pass was counted as the Beiting Command Mission.
Of course, there is not only one Dihua Wei, but actually at least three Wei, after all, there is still a large area of wasteland that can be reclaimed from Changbali to the west to Jinghe.
Feng Ma Hama is the king of Shule County, hereditary Shule Xuanzhi envoy, Shule Xuanfu envoy subordinate to the city from Shule to Khotan, each city lord has a chief official officer, anyway, they themselves must still be called emir in private, there is no need to give them too many officials, but at the same time, in Shule set up Anxi to command the envoy, and set up Shule Wei.
This kind of operation is very common.
It is very common in the southwest to share a city with the guards.
For example, the Yongning Xuanfu Envoy of the luxury family and the Yongning Wei of Guizhou both command the envoy, these two families share Yongning City, a Yongning River separates the two families, and the Yongning Xuanfu Envoy in the west and Yongningwei in the east, and even the land is difficult to clearly separate.
Including Guizhou's consolation envoy Shuixi An's home, the actual consolation envoy station is also Guiyang City.
And Guiyang is also the residence of the Guizhou Metropolitan Command Envoy, the later Guizhou Political Envoy Station, and the Guizhou Governor's Station.
This system is a good staring at the Tusi, who were almost suppressed by the military households, and when the military household system collapsed, it became convenient for the military households to flee to the Tusi, and the military households who fled to the Tusi became the most powerful military force in the hands of the Tusi, helping them dominate one side, so during the Rebellion of Luxury, most of the generals under the Ming Dynasty were Han.
A large part of them are the fleeing Yongning Guards.
Therefore, compared with the generals of the guard at the end of the Ming Dynasty, Tusi has become clear-eyed.
And Dawan and Kunling, both commanding the envoys, did not have the guards of the imperial court, but Ha only got his wish and was knighted by King Dawan.
King Dawan and Dawan both command envoys and do not conflict.
Theoretically, Dihua is still within the territory of Gaochang State, and the vassal state is a vassal state, and the imperial court commander is sent by the imperial court to the vassal state.
Nomads like Dawandu command envoys can only be nomadic themselves.
As for the new refuge Yue Jifaree, they were also given the title of His Majesty the Emperor, and they were divided into two parts, several chieftains who were nomadic on the west bank of the Irtysh River were given the title of Commander, and they were commanded by Kunling, and the nomads on the east bank were also Commanders, but they were commanded by Hanhai.
After a long time, they were divided into two groups.
Timur was also officially titled.
King Kangju.
Samarkand changed its name to Kangju.
But in addition, the pure fetters of the river are all in command of the envoys, the green ridges are in command of the envoys, and the Persians are in command of the envoys.
With the king of Kangju, the three capitals commanded the envoys.
So in fact, his fiefdom was only Kangju, and the others were under his jurisdiction, including several other parts of the river and Khorasan, Afghanistan, and Persia, which were only his jurisdictions, and the emperor appointed him to administer them, but the emperor could also withdraw his management at any time.
Anyway, he is just pretending to surrender, and Emperor Daming is also pretending to believe that he is surrendering, so there is no need to be too polite to him.
In addition, there is a special existence, that is, Gu Lina, whose righteous deeds are very appreciated by His Majesty the Emperor, so Khuzhan changed his name to naturalization, and took her as the chief official of naturalization, and was subordinate to the command of Dawandu.
At this point, the dust has settled in the Western Regions for the time being.
In the next time, all Da Ming needed to do was to withdraw the armies of the Western Expedition in batches, and at the same time send the Yan Wang guards collected from the mainland in batches, and not only the Yan Wang guards, but also at least three guards of the Beiting Command Envoy and at least two guards of the Anxi Command. The latter can be less, after all, there must be two guards of King Yan in Aksu and Quxian, so that there are four guards in southern Xinjiang, three in northern Xinjiang, two in the Ili River Valley, and one in Taiping.
In fact, there are also four in the northern frontier, because Hami guards the palace of a thousand households, and is officially upgraded to Yiwuwei, and Hamiwei, who is loyal to the king, avoids the same name.
In addition, Hanhai also has a guard.
This one is based in Kobdo.
But this Wei has only one Han thousand households, the other four are Mongolians, and there is also Yan Ranwei.
The Mongolian steppe is different from the Western Regions, in fact, as long as there are people in the Western Regions, it is easy to reclaim the wasteland and farm, but it is very difficult to maintain a reorganized guard on the Mongolian Plateau, even if modern Mongolia has an agricultural population of only tens of thousands, not to mention that in this era, whether it is Kobdo or Hala and Lin, there can be no real agriculture at all.
One thousand households is the limit.
The two thousand households were in charge of the two commanders, whose main task was to maintain the post road, which was connected to the north by a post road from Jiuquan.
In fact, it is a business way.
The merchants of the Ming Dynasty can enter the Mobei grassland, but when all the merchants come back, they must have the signatures and seals of these two guard commanders, and they must also have the seals of the post stations along the way, otherwise it is a crime, and the border passes are caught and directly raided the house, so they must go to these two cities, and the Mongolian herdsmen on the grassland must also trade in these two cities, in this case, the merchants and herdsmen alone can feed these two thousand households, because they have the right to collect business taxes in the city.
I have to say that the next Ming Emperor's immigration task is also very arduous.
Even if some of the armies of the Western Expedition were willing to stay, it would be enough to emigrate at least 50,000 households to the Western Regions and Mobei.
It's actually not that hard.
It's a big deal to catch a strong man, and if you go to a place like the Western Regions, you can stay with peace of mind.
Slightly yang.
"Are you going to learn from the emperor and raise three palaces and six courts?"
Zhang Ying looked at the vast army of beauties very calmly, and then said to Yang Feng, who was riding the Akhal-Tejin horse at the front.
Not only her, but also the men, women and children of Luoyang County at this moment are all looking at this huge team with shocked eyes.
Endless numbers of horses and camels coming in and about.
These horses and camels are either heavy pockets or exotic beautiful girls.
"Call Mother!"
Yang Feng said.
"Mother!"
Then there were countless shouts.
Zhang Ying's face flushed instantly.
"Everyone is called a mother, why don't you hurry up and give the reward, in addition, there are more than 7,000 in the back, you have more than 7,000 daughters, and there are more than 10,000 in the Western Regions to come over next year!"
Yang Feng said.
"Are you going to war or being a human trafficker? With so many righteous daughters, you are not afraid of being eaten poor. ”
Zhang Ying said.
"Eat poor?"
Yang Feng smiled coldly.
Then he pulled out his knife, walked to the side of a camel, and then slashed open the upper pocket with a knife, and the next moment with a dazzling golden light, countless gold coins flowed at once, accompanied by the exclamations of onlookers, jumping on the stones below, as if a little demon with a demon spell, so that everyone's eyes were staring.
Yang Feng looked at them......
"Do you want it?"
He said.
The sound of the onlookers spitting.
Then he pointed to the beautiful girl next to him......
"Want to either?"
He said.
And then there was still the sound of spitting.
"I went to the Western Regions to get it, the Western Regions are full of gold, and there are beauties everywhere, I went for a year, all of this is mine, not only me, all those who followed me and King Yan on their expedition to the west, all of them carried beautiful women with countless horses and camels, and came back with countless gold and silver, if you want to be like us, then go to the Western Regions, if you want to be like us, then go and get it yourself, there is a fart for dry swallowing and spitting here."
Yang Feng said.
"Can't they rob you?"
Zhang Ying said.
Yang Feng smiled.
Then he looked at those greedy eyes.
"Yes, you can rob me, but I need to remind you, I will kill you nine clans."
He said.
Then he picked up the giant sword on the horse next to him, and then stroked it very devotedly......
"This thing has cut more than a thousand people."
He said,
Then the giant sword turned into a cold light, and instantly swept over the unlucky camel, with the spray of blood, the camel's head fell to the ground, and the giant sword that swept with blood swept over a nearby tree, and then the tree immediately fell, and a group of onlookers watched tremblingly. However, Yang Feng is not worried that someone will dare to rob him, in fact, Zhang Ying has thousands of family members, that is, his armed employees, because Shanxi has a private army of 1,000 people in Shanxi, specializing in armed tax collection, and there are also 1,000 troops called by Chang Sheng.
His army of righteous daughters rode horses and camels, followed from the Western Regions to Longyou, they were already very tired, after all, they were all little girls, and it was winter, and it would take thousands of miles to continue forward, so why not choose a comfortable route. So he went directly here, and then informed Zhang Ying in advance through the banking system, the latter was in Taiyuan, and now Shanxi's tax package business is on the right track, she has been sitting in Taiyuan, and went directly to Xi'an to find Changsheng after receiving the news.
The latter arranged for the transport ship of the Jialing River to wait here.
Then these righteous women and their belongings were loaded into ships, and then they went straight down the Jialing River, all the way to Nanjing, and the horses and camels were driven to Shuofang by those family members and more than 100 people who dug tunnels.
It is impossible for these livestock to be brought to Nanjing.
They need a lot of forage and grain to feed, and there is no place to graze so many horses and camels for them when they go to Nanjing.
But Shuo Fang can.
"Ambassador!"
At this time, an officer who had been waiting for a long time stepped forward to salute.
This is sent by Chang Sheng, although it is clear that it is illegal to call the army to transport the righteous daughter and money to Ambassador Yang, but now that the emperor is seriously ill, it is difficult to say whether he can survive this year, the imperial grandson has in fact completely taken over the government, and Ambassador Yang is the imperial grandson's teacher, this little thing is not worth mentioning.
"Load the ship, turn back to the ship and leave you a bag."
Yang Feng said.
"Ambassador, villains don't dare to accept the reward."
The officer said excitedly.
"Well, even if I keep it, I won't be short of gold and silver here, and it's a big deal to go to the Western Regions to get it when I turn around."
Yang Feng said.
"Ambassador, is the Western Regions really full of gold and silver?"
The officer said cautiously.
"This, soon the armies of the Western Expedition will come back one after another, whether it is gold and silver everywhere, you will know by looking at what they brought back."
Yang Feng said.
The first batch to return was the one who followed the expedition to the west, and these guys really had gold and silver in their pockets.
At least two young women per man.
Although the Ming army did have a management system for seizures, it was when Zhu Di won the hearts of the people that he would not care about the system, and all the soldiers who participated in the war looted belonged to themselves. Anyway, his father is easy to deal with, just giving his father enough tribute from those vassals, and besides, he also knows that his father is dying, and he has now given up competing for the throne with his nephew, so his nephew can't give him enough face?
"If that's the case, the little one should be invited to the Western Regions."
The officer said with a leisurely expression.
"Go ahead, I'll give you a righteous daughter when I get there, I still have more than 10,000 righteous girls who haven't brought, it's too much, and a batch of them can't be taken care of."
Yang Feng sighed with emotion.
Then he looked at the righteous women who came in vastly......
"Come down, get on the boat, and I'll show you the world of flowers."
He shouted.
