Chapter 336: A Man Full of Ambition

"Ha, your fourth brother is impatient, he was worried about the Golden Horde as soon as he arrived in the Western Regions, and he is really an ambitious man."

Ambassador Yang, who received the secret report a month later, said.

"That's not what you pushed, he was driven to the Western Regions by you, and you still refused to let him go, and you still arranged ghosts under him."

The little princess said as she lay in his arms.

At this time, the two are leisurely enjoying the flowers in the winter greenhouse, and the ruling princess still pays attention to the enjoyment, so there is not only a huge glass greenhouse on Wutai Mountain, but also a zoo, and even an artificial lake is dug under the mountain, and there are baiji dolphins and the like in the lake, but this is not rare at present, fishermen on the Yangtze River often encounter, that is, the difficulty of fishing is high, after all, the body size is there, not only the baiji dolphin, but also the white sturgeon, the finless porpoise is a mess in short.

In fact, the ministers who are currently harboring their own ghosts, and they have always suspected that they are patronizing for fun.

As for this greenhouse, in fact, most of them are American crops brought back by Zheng He.

Therefore, out-of-season tomatoes and the like can already be eaten, but the taste is very different from modern times, and of course the appearance is also very different.

But it's good as an ornamental plant.

Most of these crops need to go through a complex and long artificial cultivation process, as for the unwanted has begun to plant, this year's first batch of sweet potatoes, has been harvested in the experimental field, except for a small amount to reward, or let some people try it, the others are sent to the mountain guards around the country, given to those military households to plant, especially Huining has been sent, it is estimated that in a few years, those Japanese slaves in Huining can eat sweet potatoes.

Including potatoes are also there.

Although it is not possible for the Japanese to dig potatoes in Siberia for the time being, it is still possible in Hoeryong.

Corn must not be directly promoted, but fortunately, Yang Feng has the breeding information that Sister Liu continues to provide, so it is okay to breed in the nearby experimental field.

It just takes time.

At this moment, Ambassador Yang, who was holding the ruling party, smiled slightly.

Of course, he has an internal ghost in Zhu Di......

In fact, he is not an internal ghost, the latter is the vassal king of the Ming Dynasty, and he naturally has a subordinate official appointed by the Ming Emperor.

Six students who graduated from Wutai Mountain followed him westward as officials of the royal palace.

And his feudal city was in Yining, and then he named himself Beiping......

This will give him a bit of a taste of home.

In fact, there were not only royal officials, but also magistrates sent by the imperial court.

Of course, the domain city of the vassal king is also the territory of the Ming Dynasty, since it is the territory of the Ming Dynasty, there must be a magistrate, but it is more special there, sandwiched between the four capitals of the Western Regions, so the Ili Mansion was set up separately, and then the Ili Mansion was subordinate to Beiping Prefecture, as for the Fucheng for the time being, there was no prefect, and the Zhizhou already had it, so the Governor of Beiping Prefecture acted as the prefect.

Then he himself went to build a city by himself to see which place was pleasing to the eye.

In this way, he can also be promoted to the prefect.

Of course, this will take a few years, because the Ili Prefecture is in charge of the Ming subjects, that is, the unguarded immigrants in the mainland in the past.

The knighthood is not close to the people.

King Yan did get the entire valley of the Ili River, and in fact the Turks River basin all the way to Issyk-Kul Lake, and then to the north the Jinghe River on the west bank of Lake Ebi.

But this is his fiefdom, and the subjects in the fief are the subjects of the Ming Dynasty.

He doesn't have any power.

All he had to do was his own five guards.

As for the Ili Mansion, it does not belong to the Sidu Division, but belongs to the distant Shaanxi Political Envoy Division, which is equivalent to adding an enclave to Shaanxi, after all, since ancient times, Guanzhong has been developing in the Western Regions.

In other words, the Shaanxi of the Ming Dynasty is big enough.

Theoretically, Gansu is also Shaanxi, and now the entire Western Regions are Shaanxi, just like the entire Liaodong, Huining and even Fusang belong to Shandong, while Annam belongs to Guangxi, Sanxuan and Liuwei belong to Yunnan, Duogan, and Wusi Zangdu Si belong to Sichuan, Hanhai, and Yanran belong to Shanxi. All the civil registers in these places, except for some of the guards, are under the jurisdiction of these political envoys, and these commanding envoys are indeed military registers, but they are not forbidden to pass through the civil registers. The civil registration is not under the control of the commanders and envoys, but under the management of the secretaries of the political envoys, and before there is a separate division of the envoys for these places, they are under the control of the distant envoys of the government.

In this way, it is convenient for these provinces to open up outward.

Just like now, Shandong people like to run to Liaodong and Fusang.

This system is very good, and Yang Feng is not ready to change it, so that it will not only be convenient for these provinces that are obviously relatively poor at present to obtain external benefits, but also facilitate the migration of other provinces to these provinces.

Daming's household registration management is very strict, like a businessman in Zhili who wants to go to Fusang to do business, then he must first immigrate to Shandong, because after arriving in Fusang, it is Shandong that collects taxes from him.

The people of that place were under the control of Shandong.

The same taxes were also collected into Shandong, and the political envoys were announced.

It doesn't matter if you are from Shandong or Leqian Shandong, but your household registration during your business in Fusang must be in Shandong.

So it is usually the case that the merchants of Zhili do business in Fusang, pay taxes to Shandong, and then bring the money back to their hometowns, and in the process Shandong becomes a middleman and obtains taxes.

It is equivalent to a fiscal transfer.

It's just that it didn't come from the imperial court.

As for these, they are also profitable, and they control the source of goods.

As for Zhu Di's impatience to march to the Golden Horde, the reason is actually very simple, he brought so many people, these people followed him not because they were loyal to him to death, and believed that following him to the Western Regions would immediately lead to herds of livestock, herds of slaves, herds of beautiful women......

Otherwise, who would abandon the homeland he had already established and follow him to such a foreign land, which can be said to be?

The herd of livestock this Zhu Di can be satisfied immediately, he gathered those nomadic chiefs, in fact, to trade with the latter, with the grain he brought to the Western Regions various commodities, from the latter's hands in exchange for cattle and sheep, plus the ones he originally owned, enough for the guards who followed him to herd livestock.

And these nomadic tribes are also grateful to him.

After all, they also need food.

In the cold winter, food is more important to them than livestock, and the sugar, tea, medicinal herbs and so on brought by Zhu Di make them even more frenzied.

But......

Where are the slaves?

Where are the women?

Where are the gold and silver jewelry?

In the Golden Horde.

This is also Zhu Di's only choice at present.

Because he can't start a war with Timur for the time being, in fact, he is now on a friendly relationship with Timur, and it is even likely that he will marry Timur's granddaughter as a concubine, the princess is definitely impossible, and the side concubines have no share, but the palace of King Yan can still accommodate a few more.

Although Timur was extremely annoyed by his visit to the Western Regions, he was helpless, Timur's strength was indeed enough to destroy Zhu Di.

At least he believed that.

But the problem is that it will make him face the wrath of Daming.

Behind Zhu Di was a vast empire so powerful that he could suffocate.

He had seen it last time.

And last time it was still only a small part of the strength of the Ming Dynasty, after all, during this period of time, his envoys paid tribute to the Ming Dynasty very frequently, and even during the Battle of Kaifeng, his envoys were still stranded in Kaifeng, and saw the real war of the Ming Dynasty, the powerful power of those giant siege artillery, the impact of those musket cavalry, and the large-scale battle of almost all firearms, which was enough for Timur to understand how big his gap was.

The most terrifying thing is that the army that suffocated him in this way has hundreds of thousands of people participating in the war in Kaifeng alone.

And there were still two such battlefields in the Ming Dynasty at that time, and there was also a regiment of the same size that was said to have not participated in Annan.

And at that time, the Ming Dynasty was still in Yunnan to conquer Luchuan.

This means that this kind of army is really a million-level!

It's terrifying!

So now Timur really doesn't dare to provoke the Ming Dynasty, he can only watch Zhu Di return to the Western Regions, and Zhu Di is also unable to attack him now, in this case, of course, the two sides must be friendly, and Timur also needs to import a large number of firearms from Zhu Di, and then prepare for a decisive battle with Bayezet, originally two years later in history, he won this decisive battle.

But now he doesn't dare to guarantee it, after all, Bayezid is also invincible in the Balkans, and in this case, in order to avoid being attacked on his back, it is very cost-effective to take a granddaughter out and deepen the relationship between him and Zhu Di.

And Zhu Di's only remaining direction of expansion is the Golden Horde.

But there must always be a claim for this kind of thing, and the best claim is to support the moon that someone else will take back their Golden Horde throne.

The moon is the era of Bekhan, and it can be regarded as the prosperity of the Golden Horde.

Although at the cost of Turkicization.

And after the death of the month of Bekhan, the Golden Horde changed twenty khans in twenty-four years, and turned a powerful empire into the current ghost, anyone can step on it, and even Timur broke through the capital, and Tokhtamysh, the self-proclaimed Golden Horde, actually ran to Lithuania for protection. Shame, and after the death of Yuejibei Khan, who had been squeezed out of the Eastern European Plain step by step and ran to the East to wander, the Yuei, or the Uzbeks, of course fantasized about being able to return to their prosperous times.

The month is Uzbekistan.

These were the Golden Horde people who fled to the East to take refuge in the internal scuffle within the Golden Horde.

As for the source of the nation, it is already messed up, and there is no need to care what the source is, the Mongolian and Turkic systems are all mixed.

Originally, this group was led by the Abu Khairs of the Shaban family to establish the Uzbek Khanate, with its capital in Tyumen, nomadic in Siberia and modern northern Kazakhstan, and then went south to the river, and even controlled the Fergana Basin, but it was eventually defeated, and part of it was established because of internal contradictions, and then the Kazakh Khanate became stronger, and then it was the two-hundred-year war with Oirat or Warat.

Now Zhu Di can just use them to take them back to the Kipchak steppe, regain the throne of the Golden Horde, and restore the strength of the Golden Horde.

They'll be happy.

They lived a very hard life in a ghost place like Siberia, otherwise there would not have been a small tribe who ignored the differences in the systems and beliefs of the two sides, and actually ran to the ghost power.

The latter is a Buddhist.

To put it bluntly, the life in Siberia is too hard, originally in history they could still go south, but now they are isolated in the north by the Ming Dynasty, they go south to the Chu River and Talas, originally in history they did quickly migrate to this area of nomadism. But now there is the territory of the Ming Kunling capital command envoy, not only there are Warat nomads, but also the Ming garrison of the Talas City, but in fact, the Warat troops are on duty, and there are 5,000 cavalry in the past every year.

But even so, it also blocked the moon from others going south.

They can only live nomadically in Siberia and along the Irtysh River, and endure the bitter cold of minus forty or fifty degrees Celsius in winter.

In this case, of course, they miss the Great Plain of Eastern Europe, the sun on the Black Sea coast, the rich pastures on the Volga.

It's just that they don't have the ability.

Now there is a melee like raising Gu, Timur, Tokhtamysh, Lithuanians, Rus', and a bunch of warlords in the Golden Horde system, fighting in the Eastern European steppe, they are because they are unable to resist these forces in this chaotic steppe, so they have to hide in the east, and now the powerful Ming is willing to help them kill back, back to the prosperous era they miss, then of course they are willing, when the time comes, it is nothing more than to pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty.

Bagatelle.

Nothing.

Anyway, in the past, the Golden Horde also paid tribute to the Yuan Dynasty, and his uncle Tokhan was still the king of Suning in the Yuan Dynasty!

And even if you can't regain the throne of the Golden Horde, you can still follow the wave of looting.

Well, that's the most important thing.

On the grassland, they are robbing each other.

As long as Zhu Di can solve the cooperation of this group, then all that remains is to unite to march westward and march to the Kipchak steppe on the route of Badu back then. And then in the course of this westward crusade, those guards who followed Zhu Di will get what they want, they will bring back countless Eastern European and Caucasian women, they will bring back a large number of white slaves, and they will also loot countless livestock and wealth.

Eastern Europe, however, is still traded in gold coins.

They were just like the army led by Yang Feng last time, sweeping through Eastern Europe like a natural disaster.

Of course, one time is definitely not enough, after all, the distance is a little far, even if it is the march of the whole cavalry, it will take half a year to walk through, but you can first integrate the Yue in this area with others, and a crusade against those tribes who refuse to follow, especially in Siberia, a large number of nomadic tribes are scattered, and theoretically this piece already belongs to the Kunling Command Envoy, and then King Yan personally led the army to crusade against the Golden Horde tribes in the Kunling Command Envoy area who are still unwilling to submit to the Ming Dynasty, and announced to them that the Ming Emperor helped the Yue that others, The will to return to Eastern Europe and regain the throne of the Golden Horde.

The subservient followed.

Those who do not submit are destroyed, and then divide up their women and livestock.

Perfect.

It is estimated that one year is enough time for Zhu Di to complete the integration of the entire area.

He also advanced to the coast of the Caspian Sea, and all that remained was to continue westward, and he didn't have to worry about the safety of the rear anyway.

Behind him is the Ming Dynasty, and the four are all commanding envoys!
