Outside Jiayu Pass.

On the brightly lit fortress, a group of cavalry appeared and attacked the city with firearms.

Fortunately, Chen You took precautions in advance, and the soldiers defending the city fought back with firearms, so as to suppress the enemy army from attacking the city.

The northwest was cold, and the Turpan cavalry on horseback was not comfortable.

As for Hami, by the time Hami is recovered in the spring of next year, it is estimated that it will be uninhabited for thousands of miles.

Although it was the Chinese New Year, Chen You was still reading, and he found and studied all the recorded things about the history and biography of the Western Regions.

If you want to annex the Western Regions, there are three main difficulties: first, language difficulties, although the countries of the Western Regions are ruled by the Eastern Chagatai Khanate, the language is not unified;

Second, Zong. On the issue of religion, most of them believe in Islam, as well as Yellow Sect, Buddhism, and local sects, and there are many branches within the same sect. The religious controversy is very large.

Third, the geographical environment is harsh, the Western Regions is no longer a rich land in the Tang Dynasty, after being grazed by the Mongols for hundreds of years, the land is seriously degraded and desertified, and it is unknown whether it can still farm.

Chen You sighed faintly, jotted down the question on paper, and then looked for the answer in the book.

Kou Shen returned to Lanzhou, although it was winter, the whole Gansu still needed to operate normally, and it was full of big and small affairs.

The territory of Gansu was formally established, but the central government has not yet sent political envoys, patrol envoys and other officials, and it is still the officials of the former Shaanxi Province who support the two provinces of Liangyun.

In the past, Gansu was barren and there were not many people, but this year, many people have moved in, and it should be a province.

Jingtai ten years, the second day of the Lunar New Year.

Chen Wenqi, the servant of the ministry, set up administrative teams in Gansu, Ningxia and Rehe.

The three provinces have already gained vitality, and it is natural to establish a sound administrative team.

The courtiers discussed.

In the end, it was decided to appoint Xuan Hui as the political envoy of Gansu, Wang Xi still served as the chief soldier of Gansu, Wang Zhen served as the patrol envoy of the Imperial Inspectorate, and Huang Ji, a scholar of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, served as the envoy.

Yuan Jie was promoted to the governor of Ningxia, Li Shao, the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites, served as the political envoy of Ningxia, Xu Mi of the Hanlin Academy went out of Beijing to serve as the envoy, and Liu Wen of the Metropolitan Procuratorate served as the patrol envoy.

Bai Gui was very reluctant to Li Shao.

Li Shaoke is a capable minister, and he has made great efforts in the reform of the Ministry of Rites.

This time, he was sent out to serve as a political envoy.

I'm going to enter the cabinet when I come back.

The Qin Tianjian has been formed, and the recruits are all folk talents who are good at calendars.

On the second day of the 10th year of Jingtai, Qintianjian held a grand ceremony and officially began to compile a new calendar, and the emperor gave the name Jingtai calendar.

In order to correct the errors of the old calendar, modify the erroneous calendar, and recalculate the sunset (estimating the position of the sun), the star (the position of the star), the moon separation (estimating the position of the moon), the sun-moon intersection (the calculation of the eclipse of the sun and the moon), the five-latitude star (the movement of the five planets), and the five-star intersection (the relative position change of the five planets).

It also provides an overview of mathematics, based on astronomical mathematics, re-deriving new mathematics, and coordinating the compilation of all counting books and mathematical classics.

The emperor demanded a change in the chronological system, a more detailed division of time, and a precise calculation of time.

It is expected that in ten years, the new Jingtai calendar will be launched.

And within this year, it will be possible to redivide the time and time accurately.

In the blink of an eye, the New Year has passed, and the February 2nd Games have been held, and the New Year has passed.

Ministries are engaged in heavy workload.

Xiyi objects from Guangzhou were sent into the palace and placed outside the Yangxin Palace.

Zhu Qiyu went out to see something fresh.

Bian Yong came back with Western goods, brought back a thick travel diary, and presented it.

"How is your father's health?" Zhu Qiyu asked while looking at Western objects.

"Back to Your Majesty, my father is still in good health, and he is staying in Ayutthaya, the capital of Siam, and is waiting for your holy decree."

"Don't be in a hurry to come back, take a good look in Siam, Siam is known as the first power in Central and South China, let Bian Yong see how strong it is."

Zhu Qiyu asked Bian Yong to get up: "I heard that Nianfu accepted you as a disciple?" ”

"The young master is not stupid and willing to teach Weichen, and Weichen is grateful." Bian Yong knelt down again.

Zhu Qiyu asked people to pick up a piano: "Who will play?" ”

I ran into the same problem as last year, and I got my stuff back, and no one would play it.

This is a wire piano, and the sound of the piano is sonorous and powerful.

"Get up and speak."

Zhu Qiyu said to Bian Yong: "Nian Fu is very capable, you can learn one or two, it is enough for you to benefit for life." ”

"Nian Fu has no low requirements for his doorman, and if you can enter the vision of the young man, it shows that you are also capable."

Zhu Qiyu fiddled a few times, and his voice was harsh and ugly.

"I can't be wrong, you're capable."

Zhu Qiyu handed the wire piano to Bian Yong: "Try it." ”

Bian Yong can't play, he's not good at music.

and handed it over to the eunuch who was good at music.

"Xue Xuan's secret music for me, praising you, you can get the attention of young and rich, it shows that I am not wrong."

"Weichen didn't dare to bear His Majesty's praise." Bian Yong kowtowed again.

"You went to Annan in person, what do you think of the situation in Annan?" Zhu Qiyu asked while playing.

"Your Majesty."

Bian Yong said eloquently: "Although Weichen is in Annan, he sees the treacherous situation in Annan......"

He believed that the situation in Annam did not lie with the king of Annam, but with the powerful ministers.

The ministers controlled the army and the place, and although the king of Annam was a king, he was actually a puppet.

The king of Annam and the ministers of power are fighting, and what they are fighting for is a great righteousness.

Once the ministers turned their faces, righteousness was the most useless thing, and King Annan was not long in coming.

"When do you expect Annan to settle down?" Zhu Qiyu asked.

"Wechen guesses that before the rainy season this year, there will be results, and the king of Annan will be defeated, and then he will be replaced by a small king, and the ministers will be completely in power."

Bian Yong's thoughts are similar to Fang Ying's secret recital.

Zhu Qiyu put down the things in his hand and entered the Heart Cultivation Palace, with Bian Yong following behind.

"Bian Yong, I have already formed two missions, one to envoy Siam, and the other to poison the body, I want to send you to Annam, do you dare to go?"

Bian Yong was slightly surprised, his ability was far inferior to his father, and the situation in Annan was chaotic, if he went in at this time, Daming might not be able to reap the benefits.

"Wait until after the rainy season."

Zhu Qiyu said: "The situation in Annan must be controlled at all times, and your father still has important tasks on his side, and he will not be able to come back for a while." ”

"I want to put a heavy responsibility on you, do you dare to go?"

Bian Yong knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty has a life, and Weichen is willing to go to the soup and fight the fire." ”

"No, there's no danger, it's just a normal mission."

Zhu Qiyu pondered and said: "The new king of Annan, I want to send an envoy to seal the throne, and you are the envoy." ”

Bian Yong understood the emperor's deep meaning, which was to let Annan continue to mess up.

The emperor has just been crowned the new king, but the new king is dead, how do you let the emperor end?

"Your Majesty, the prosperous land of Annan has been swallowed by the Ming Dynasty, with its southern power, it can't stop the heavenly soldiers at all, as long as I control the northern part of Annan and annex the south, it will only be a matter of a few months!"

Bian Yong wanted to say, why bother?

If you look at the map of Annam, you can see why there is only one along the coast, because only this area is a plain, and to the west is a mountain range, and the people of Annam will choose the land.

"Annan has already annexed Champa, and I have annexed Annam, so I can't let the king of Champa take advantage, right?"

"Go south to fight, you have to swallow it all!"

"Fight all the way to the end of the ocean!"

Zhu Qiyu said seriously: "You go to Annan first, and then go to Zhancheng, discuss with the king of Zhancheng, and I will give him a title." ”

"If he agrees, I will take him as a concubine."

Bian Yong's round eyes widened: "Your Majesty, how can that barbarian little king be the emperor of the Heavenly Empire?" ”

"Fart a countryman, come to Daming, I let him die one day, he will die one day, what country to be, pick a small, easy to control, raise it."

Zhu Qiyu was very frank in front of the courtiers, and Bian Yong was used to it.

"Your Majesty." Bian Yong thought the same way.

I am afraid that when the emperor and the woman of Champa will have a relationship, they will reward others.

It's impossible to think about it, how can there be any beauty in the city of Zhancheng?

Zhu Qiyu said with a smile: "Your father said that there is no Buddhism anymore for body poison. ”

"Then the great sect of Buddhism is the Great Ming."

"I want to send envoys to collect the relics of poisoned Buddhism and transfer them all to the Ming Dynasty."

"And Annam, Champa, Siam, Laos and other places mostly believe in Buddhism, and if you want to worship the Buddha, you can only come to Daming."

"Daming is not only their suzerain, but also their place of pilgrimage, so Daming accepted them because of the Buddha's grace."

"I'm going to send envoys to Uschen and ask them if they'd like to go to Annam to preach?"

Bian Yong kowtowed: "Weichen is willing to send an envoy to Annan." ”

Zhu Qiyu was very satisfied with him: "Go back to rest and recuperate, accompany your family well, and set off in September." ”

I'm talking about Annan.

As soon as Tao Cheng left the Lujiang River, the Tusi on the west bank of the Lujiang River rebelled.

This terrain is all mountains, the mountains are dense forests, the locals will get lost when they enter, Tao Cheng tried to set fire to the mountain, the effect is minimal.

This generation is a tropical rainforest, with ancient technology to set fire to the mountain, even if there is no rain, the mountain is successfully burned, and new trees will grow in a few days, and then the Ming army that goes in will get lost, it is better not to burn.

The most important thing is that the rainforest often rains, the air is humid, and the fire will be extinguished as soon as it is ignited, and it is impossible to burn the mountains at all.

Tao Cheng went by boat, and the natives over there ran into the mountains, and when Tao Cheng left, they crossed the river to the other side to grab things.

Tao Cheng recovered the city of Annan, and there was no difficulty.

On the contrary, these natives made him very depressed, and suffered heavy losses, and only a thousand officers and soldiers died.

Tao Cheng could only send a messenger in to persuade him to surrender.

As a result, the natives killed the messenger, but they didn't surrender anyway.

Tao Cheng had to be stationed on the bank of the Lujiang River, and the natives on the other side of the river stopped.

If you can't fight, neither can Huairou.

Tao Cheng wrote to Liao Zhuang for help, and Liao Zhuang read a lot and helped come up with ideas.

Liao Zhuang replaced Xia Xun and stationed in Hongji, which has been renamed and changed to Hongzhou.

Liao Zhuang has been coming to Jiaozhi for nearly a year and has learned about the autumn and winter of Jiaozhi.

A few years ago, he had a serious illness, he thought he had confessed here, but fortunately he survived, but the soldiers in his hands died of hundreds of people, causing a lot of panic.

The key Hongzhou is a place where the people of Annam have been raised, and in those places that are not raised, a mosquito or a piece of grass may kill a person.

The difficulty in conquering this huge central and southern China is not the war, but the natural environment.

"If you don't eradicate these trees, you will never be able to control the west of the Lujiang River."

Guangxi has been ruled by the Han Dynasty for thousands of years, and it has become livable after two thousand years of people slashing with knives and axes.

But the area west of the Lujiang River is different, these are not toasts, they are all savages.

"You can only lure it with profit! Huairou, assimilation, a hundred years of success! ”

Liao Zhuang wrote a letter to Tao Cheng, borrowing the experience of Annan to rule the local area, and only included it in the province, but allowed it to govern internally.

To put it mildly, it just can't be helped.

With the productivity of this era, there is simply no way to overtake the rainforest, and it is impossible to control it.

Liao Zhuang sent the problem to Xia Xun.

Xia Xun is opening up the gallop road, and it is almost repaired to Hongzhou.

Slaves are just good to use.

Xia Xun received the letter and smiled lightly: "Set up a fortress along the coast, build a pier, as long as the savage does not go out of the mountain, it will be treated as if it does not exist, if it comes out of the mountain, it will be shot!" ”

"At the same time, trade with the savages and buy wood!"

"Let's not burn the mountain, use money and things, and let the wild people cut down all the trees all over the mountain!"

"These lands are naturally ours."

"And establish friendly contacts, establish a local official system, and just toast, let's build while suppressing, and there is no contradiction."

Xia Xun is optimistic.

But it is estimated that it will take 200 years for such a large area of tropical rainforest to be cut down.

At that time, it had long since been changed.

First of all, you can occupy the rich places.

Change the soil and return to the stream, the Ming Dynasty is familiar with the road, the old experience, in Xiangxi, Guizhou also built a city wall, distinguish the Turks, prevent the Turks from rebelling and so on.

When Tao Cheng received the letter, he did not go west of the Lujiang River, built a fortress along the riverbank, and wrote to Fang Ying, requesting that heavy artillery be dispatched.

Xia Xun wrote the difficult problem into a piece of music and sent it to the center.

At this time, the Jingshi grass warbler flies, and it is spring again.

"Tao Cheng is not good at politics, so he transferred Liao Zhuang to Jinjiang Mansion and served as the prefect of Jinjiang Prefecture and the chief soldier of Jinjiang Prefecture."

Zhu Qiyu also agreed with Xia Xun's strategy.

Fei Fan has already discovered oil, listen to his instructions, boil oil, see if you can't boil out gasoline, will it be easier to burn the rainforest with gasoline?

Of course, it definitely didn't work.

"Transferred Tao Cheng to the three southern provinces of Guizhou and served as a general in Guizhou."

"Decree Xiang Wenyao and Li Kuang, I don't want to see a country within a country."

It's time to clean Guizhou.

Guizhou toast should become a thing of the past.

The holy decree was sent to the three southern provinces of Guizhou.

Li Kuang resettled immigrants and trained troops at the same time, and has completed the construction of the Sanfu Chi Road, opening up the roads to Guangxi, Hunan, and Guizhou.

Li Kuang had about 10,000 soldiers on his hands, all of whom he trained single-handedly.

It has been three months since Tao Cheng received the holy decree.

ran to the Suzaku Pass Fang Ying to be relieved, and led 50,000 soldiers to Guizhou by boat.

Xiang Wenyao and Li Kuang are all waiting for Tao Cheng's arrival.

Guizhou Tusi is huge, with the soldiers in their hands, it is difficult to suppress, Tao Cheng is a famous general, and the soldiers in his hands are all Guangxi soldiers, and he is very good at mountain warfare.

Tao Cheng had 50,000 soldiers in his hands, plus more than 30,000 in their hands, and borrowed 20,000 soldiers from Sichuan, a total of 100,000 soldiers, to clean Guizhou.

In early March, Suzhou.

Chen Youbing went out of Suzhou Guard, met the Mansuer cavalry at Yumen Pass, and fought with each other, on par.

drove all the way, fought more than a dozen battles with the Turpan cavalry, and drove the Turpan cavalry out of Hami.

Subsequently, Chen Youbing divided into three ways and regained Hami again.

Hami was ravaged by the Ming army, starved for another winter, and there were not many people left, so Chen You took advantage of the situation to regain the city.

The wood transported from Guangxi has been transported into Suzhou in large quantities, and after the recovery of Hami this time, the Ming Dynasty completely controlled Hami and no longer retreated.

The cavalry in Chen You's hands divided the land and slaves in Hami and became the new Hami people.

Although there is no way to divide the land with military merit.

However, he still gave more rewards, and encouraged the soldiers to marry more Hami women, especially those with children.

For the children are also given land, according to the population, regardless of gender.

The advantage of the soldiers is that they give priority to the distribution of land, and those who choose the rich are given to them first.

At the same time, the central center decreed that after ten years of conquest, they could be disarmed and returned to the field, and their heirs could enter the martial arts to study, become soldiers, and take the imperial examination.

The military household system is no longer used.

In this way, the belligerence of the soldiers was stimulated.

The first building in Hami turned out to be a temple.

Temples and Taoist temples have been built everywhere, as well as the Wengong martial arts hall, which reproduces the martial style.

In mid-April, Chen You was stationed in Hami City, with plenty of dried meat, and led 20,000 cavalry out of Hami and went straight to Turpan.

From Hami to Turpan, it is desolate and inaccessible.

One winter, I don't know how many Turpan people starved to death.

This year, the Ming army is coming again, Man Su'er is ready, the wall is clear, and the city is honestly defended, and when your Ming army withdraws, I will attack and harass your Ming Dynasty, anyway, no one should think about it.

After seeing the strong wall and clear the wilderness, Chen You knew that he was invincible, so he actually sent an envoy to negotiate with Man Su'er.

"What did you say?"

After hearing what the messenger said, Man Su'er slapped the case and got up: "You Da Ming is crazy, right?" Actually let the powerful Mongol Khanate cede land and pay reparations? Aren't you afraid I'll chop your head? ”

The Mongol generals in the Great Tent were all furious.

The envoy was dressed in a literati robe, and saluted neither humbly nor arrogantly: "It's just a show in the lower district, and there are hundreds of thousands of talents like this in the Ming Dynasty, and if you kill the next person, it will attract heavenly soldiers to attack, you can consider it yourself." ”

This show talent actually put on a look of being killed.

Full Speed really wanted to push him out and cut him.

"Your Excellency Prince!"

"Hami was originally a subject country of my Ming Dynasty, and he was protected by my Ming Dynasty."

"And you Turpan, but in the subject country burning, killing and plundering, all kinds of evil, now Hami is in dilapidation, I Ming took the place of the subject country, what is wrong?"

This show is loud and sound.

That's shameless enough.

"Envoy, do you have a problem with your memory?"

"The one who slaughtered Hami was obviously your Ming army, how could it have become my Eastern Chagatai Khanate?" Full Speed asked.

"Your Excellency Prince, what you are talking about is the battle between my Ming Dynasty and Hami, but what you are talking about below is that since November last year, you have done evil things in Hami, and it is difficult to mention."

Man Su'er frowned: "Only the state officials are allowed to set fires, and the people are not allowed to light the lamps?" ”

"Hmph."

"According to your logic, Hami is also a vassal state of Eastern Chagatai, and my Khanate is a vassal state that teaches disrespect, what is wrong?"

This Xiucai sneered: "Since Your Excellency the prince said that he was disrespectful, as far as I know, Hami is respectful to the Eastern Chagatai Khanate, and there is nothing disrespectful, why do you want to attack the people of Hami?" ”

"I know if you're deferential or not, you know?"

Man Su'er asked: "Let me ask you, why did you attack the Ming Dynasty?" ”

"It's all because Hami helped Warat to attack Daming, and Daming punished him, as a matter of course."

Xiucai asked rhetorically: "What about you, Your Excellency Prince?" ”

"Me!"

Man Su'er wanted to beat him to death: "Okay, your Daming's conditions, this king will not agree!" ”

"Does Your Excellency the Prince need to think again?" Xiucai asked.

"Don't think about it, he Chen You has the ability, so he will go to Turpan to beat us!" Full Speed sulked and looked at the conditions offered by Chen You.

He actually asked the Eastern Chagatai Khanate to cede the land of Turpan and gave the Ming Dynasty one million taels of silver as compensation.

The Mongols did not have a tradition of paying reparations for the cession of land.

"Turpan is extremely strong, and I can't do anything about him for a while."

Xiucai said with a smile: "However, what if our cavalry bypasses Turpan and enters Yili? ”

Man Su'er's face changed instantly, and entering Yili would not bring much danger to the Eastern Chagatai Khanate.

However, his status in his father's heart will be reduced.

He also has a very good younger brother, Saede.

Sayide was in the west, expanding his territory, and he was beaten very badly by the Ming in the east, and if his headquarters was attacked by the Ming army, his face would be lost.

"That's all I have to say, farewell!" Xiucai gave up.

However, full speed is not allowed, and the guards are naturally not allowed to show off the account.

"Your Excellency Prince, the two countries are not going to kill each other, do you want to kill them?" Xiucai is not afraid.

"Look at what you said, don't you see the outside?"

A smile appeared on Man Su'er's face: "The Ming Dynasty and the Eastern Chagatai Khanate are friendly countries, you are the envoy of the Ming Dynasty, of course I will treat each other with courtesy." ”

"Someone, prepare for the feast."

"I haven't asked your envoy yet, what is your name?"

Xiucai chuckled: "It's not just Qian Min, just a few talents, but it's just a drop in the ocean in Daming." ”

"Daming is really the chosen place, and there are talents everywhere." Full speed invited Qian Min to take a seat.

Qian Min is a talent now, and he will be a great figure in the future.

He was unexpectedly drafted into the army, studied military affairs with Chen You, and was sent to Hami as a civil affairs official.

Chen You was worried outside Turpan, and Qian Min volunteered to persuade Man Su'er.

"Don't dare to be a prince and praise."

Qian Min knows very well that the current Mongolian people are no longer the muscular men who only knew how to fight hundreds of years ago, but power creatures who know more about politics.

For the vast Eastern Chagatai Khanate, Turpan was nothing more than a place.

If you lose points in front of the Great Khan because of this little thing, Full Speed will definitely be unwilling.

This is also the reason why Man Su'er attacked Suzhou in the cold winter wax moon, just to get back face.

And Da Ming doesn't care about the gains and losses of Turpan.

What I really want to talk about is actually hoping that Man Su'er will not attack Hami, turn hostility into friendship, and get along peacefully.

The slaves brought good wine and food, yogurt gnocchi, mare's milk wine.

"Your Excellency, you are majestic and strategic, and you should have the vast land of the entire khanate, not the corner of Turpan."

Qian Min ate the yogurt gnocchi, and his face did not change.

People who eat this thing for the first time will vomit directly, and those who like to eat it can't do without it.

Mongolians love to test friendship with yogurt gnocchi.

Qian Min ate without any abnormality, making Man Su'er and other Mongolian generals look at him.

"I, the Ming Dynasty, defeated Warat, defeated the Tatars, expanded the north of the desert, swallowed Hami in the west, and annexed Korea in the east, which is unstoppable."

"The Ming Dynasty and the Eastern Chagatai Khanate are like two tigers."

"What are the benefits of two tigers fighting?"

"And Your Excellency the Prince, if you are willing to exchange a corner of Turpan for the friendship of the Ming Dynasty, I, the Ming Dynasty, can support you to ascend to the throne of the Khan, and the two countries will sign a non-interference agreement, the friendship between the two countries, what do you think?"

Man Su'er listened to the translated words, his brows condensed slightly.

The Han people are scared of being beaten.

I want to stop the war, I don't want to fight.

Also, the Han people are proficient in construction, and now they include Hami, but they have no conditions for construction, and the Han emperor will blame Chen You for being incompetent.

It's a pity that Chen You, a fierce hyena, actually works for a pig.

Man Su'er smiled: "According to your envoy, it means a lot to me." ”

"If Your Excellency the prince is unwilling, then the war continues, Your Majesty has transferred the latest heavy artillery developed by the Beijing Division, and it is on the way, and the city will be broken at that time."

Full Speed scoffed at the so-called heavy artillery.

The Ming people are weak, so make good use of tools, and the majestic Mongols themselves are the best tools.

"Your Excellency Prince, signing an agreement at this time is beneficial to the Ming Dynasty, to you, and to the Eastern Chagatai Khanate."

Man Su'er said: "Even if it is signed, it will only take effect when I ascend to the throne." ”

That's not to talk about?

Qian Min sneered: "Since His Excellency the prince is bent on going his own way, let's see the truth on the battlefield." ”

The first negotiation broke up unhappily.

Qian Min returned to the camp and told Chen You: "Man Su'er has long been ready to defend the city, the city is reinforced a few zhang high, and the equipment in the city is piled up, and non-human people can break it." ”

Chen You asked people to push out the heavy artillery that had just been transferred from the Ordnance Bureau and bombard it on the Turpan city wall.

A few shots open a gap.

Man Suer, who was in the city, saw the benefits of the Ming army's firearms, and immediately sent envoys to negotiate with the Ming army.

And Shenying quietly left the camp.

Day and night, bypassing Turpan, entering Yili Li, God unconsciously conquered the bluestone mountain at the junction of the two places.

Send people to spread rumors on the grassland that are not good for Mansuer.

Qian Min entered Turpan City for the second time and held a third negotiation.

"Our army's artillery, destroying gold and stones, your huge city, can't resist our artillery at all, I think it's better to negotiate a settlement."

Man Suer was silent, and Turpan couldn't be lost.

At least he can't lose it until he ascends to the throne.

But Shenying spread rumors about him everywhere and tried to break into Yili and make him lose points in front of his father Khan.

"It's better to change the conditions."

Qian Min smiled but did not speak.

"I'm willing to pay 10,000 taels to ask the Ming army to return to Hami, and the two sides will turn the war into jade silk, what do you think?" Full Speed decided to pay compensation.

Although it was only 10,000 taels, this was the first time in the world.

Qian Min knew that after receiving the money, Man Su'er held his breath in his heart, and after he controlled the main road, the Ming army would turn his face.

If you want to control Turpan, you have to beat Man Su'er before he will be obedient.

The third negotiation ended in nothing.

Shenying flowed westward, conquered several small cities one after another, and after conquering them, they slaughtered and set fires.

Sure enough, the movement on Turpan's side alarmed the Khan Court.

Ahimama wrote a letter to his son.

"Damn it!"

Full speed can feel what it means to be humiliated!

Shame on you and go to the Khan Court!

The key is that the city of Turpan is shelled every day, and the Mongolian army obviously will not defend the city, and after being punched, it is not filled in time, causing the gap to get bigger and bigger, and it is almost about to collapse.

And the Ming army also dropped rockets into the city.

This kind of rocket shoots very far, like it was shot from a catapult.

It's not very hurtful, it's extremely insulting.

He sent emissaries for the fourth negotiation.

That night, the city of Turpan was blasted open.

The Ming army and the Mongolian army looked at each other.

The Ming army did not rush in to fight, because they were cavalry, and it was too much of a loss to fight street battles.

The Mongolian army is no longer as heroic as its ancestors, and it is somewhat frightened.

Qian Min entered the city for the third time and conducted the fifth negotiation.

"With Huozhou as the boundary, how about being safe with each other?" Full Speed made a huge concession.

When the letter from his father Khan arrived, he seemed to feel the deep disappointment of his father Khan, so he was forced to give in and forge a great victory to show the Khan's court what he was capable of.

"Your Excellency Prince, I can go west at any time to the general, your life is not easy, right?" Qian Min asked him.

Man Su'er smiled and said: "If he Chen You is not afraid of my Turpan cavalry, will he send envoys several times to negotiate peace with me?" ”

"Your Excellency, we are helping you."

Qian Min's words made Man Su'er feel like eating.

"I can give Turpan to Daming."

Man Su'er said: "However, Da Ming wants to accompany me to make a scene." ”

Qian Min smelled the conspiracy.

"The Ming army pretended to be defeated, so that our army won a big victory." Man Su'er thought very beautifully, taking advantage of the retreat of the Ming army, turning the fake defeat into a real defeat.

"Impossible!"

Qian Min said seriously: "My Ming army is invincible and has never been defeated, how can it be defeated?" If the fraud fails, how will Shazhou Bo explain to the center? ”

"Then there's no need to talk about it?" Full Speed just wants to turn fraud into real defeat.

The fifth negotiation collapsed.

A city wall collapsed, and Chen You continued to fire artillery inside, constantly firing rockets inside.

Just don't send troops in to fight.

The Mongolian army was forced to hide in a corner, and the morale of the army was shaken, and they were all insulting the incompetence of the commander.

Full Speed's reputation is collapsing.

He had to send an envoy to meet Chen You for the third time and hold the sixth negotiation.

Turpan was jointly administered by the Ming Dynasty and the Eastern Chagatai Khanate.

Each other is not stationed in Turpan.

It's a military buffer zone.

The Ming Dynasty needed Turpan as a barrier to restore Hami's vitality, and Man Su'er needed Turpan, a nominal territory, to maintain his majesty.

The two sides hit it off.

However, Man Su'er asked the Ming army to help him stabilize his sweat position.

Chen You naturally agreed, and then gave Shenying an order to return to his teacher.

After the two armies returned to their divisions, they slowly withdrew from Turpan and built fortifications outside the Hami Heifeng River.

Transit to the center.

By this time it was already May.

Zhu Qiyu was noncommittal.

Two groups of envoys had already left the Ming Dynasty in February, traveling through Annam, sending envoys to Siam and poisoning.

Two missions, a total of 12,000 people.

He was accompanied by merchants, as well as a long queue of gifts.

This is to take the new Silk Road.

At the same time, the imperial court sent an envoy to Wu Si Zhen to lure him and let Wu Si Zhen sinicize as soon as possible.

And the center, is in preparation.

The emperor is about to visit Nanzhili.

The mighty procession, a long queue of more than 150,000 people, set off from Beizhili to patrol Nanjing.

It is expected to depart in September.

On the one hand, it was too early to set off, Nanjing was too hot, and the emperor did not like the heat; On the other hand, it takes time to prepare, and the emperor's departure from Beijing is a big event, and a myriad of things need to be prepared.

After spending Chinese New Year's Eve in Nanjing, return to Beizhili.

He had to stay in Nanjing for half a year and finish everything that needed to be done.

"Your Majesty, it is also a plan to manage Turpan together."

The courtiers thought that Chen You could do it.

Hami does not immigrate the population for the time being, but gives the Gansu soldiers land in Hami, so that these soldiers can become the natives of Hami.

As for the living Hami people, they will be collected and sinicized.

"Zhuqing, do you know what the biggest problem is when you go west?" Zhu Qiyu asked.

"Zong. Teach the problem. ”

"As far as I know, the Eastern Chagatai Khanate has been completely Iranized."

"Hami also has signs of Yihua, but fortunately, the dynasty quickly recovered Hami and blocked the Islamic religion from Hami."

Zhu Qiyu is afraid of Yijiao.

The courtier nodded slightly.

The Mongols are so powerful and inextricably linked with the Islamic religion, why are the Mongols not afraid of death?

It's not innate, it's all the role of Islam.

This thing is used well, and it can turn soldiers into madness, but after soldiers become crazy, the future will not be easy to manage.

"I have set up a sect record department, and I do not oppose, support, or advocate sectarian issues."

"To exist is to be reasonable."

"I can't erase it, I just hope that these sects are gentle, tolerant, and oriented towards the Ming Dynasty."

Zhu Qiyu said: "However, like what the Mongols believed before, I felt terrified when I saw it. ”

"The Mongols were not born to be good at war, but they were taught by these teachings, and they became war machines."

"Therefore, in Mobei, every time I occupy a piece of land, I build a large number of temples, and revise some of the teachings of the Qur'an to persuade the herdsmen to be good."

"It's the same thing to rule the northwest."

"A large number of temples must be built, so that the people there can believe in Buddhism, if they don't believe in the Buddha of the Central Plains, they will believe in the Buddha in the district, and they must not grind away the ferocity before they can be used by me."

The courtiers expressed their support.

"But yes, Buddhism and Taoism are too soft, and compared with Yijiao, there is almost no comparison."

Zhu Qiyu's words changed: "I want to activate the Yellow Sect and use the Yellow Sect to resist the Yi Sect." ”

Anyway, it's all a Chinese religion, and there's no problem with using anyone.

Buddhism can also be separated from a school to compete with the Yellow Sect and the Islamic Sect.

"Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that the teachings of the Yellow Sect can be translated into two languages, the Chinese and Chinese."

"The Yellow Sect lacks history in Mobei, so let's create history for them."

"Let the Huangjiao and the Yijiao debate each other, if they can't distinguish clearly, they must always make a clear argument."

Yao Kui's trick is ruthless enough.

This is to set the Yellow Sect and the Islamic Sect against each other, and now they are profiting from it, but they are sowing the seeds of splitting, which is not good.

"Yao Qing, if this strategy is implemented, in three hundred years, the Ming Dynasty will be torn apart."

Zhu Qiyu said lightly: "I want to force the Yellow Sect to use the Chinese language, and it is not allowed to use the Chinese language." ”

"Let Zonglu Division, reform the doctrine of Islam, whoever supports the center will be allowed to preach in a big way, and those who do not support the center will be banned."

"Whether it is Huangjiao, Yijiao, Buddhism, or Taoism, the only thing that remains unchanged is to support the rule of the Ming Dynasty."

"All scriptures that contradict the rule of the Ming Dynasty will be deleted."

"All gods and Buddhas that are contrary to the rule of the Ming Dynasty will be removed."

"Anything that contradicts my intentions will be changed!"

"Now there are masters of various factions in the Zonglu Division, who study all kinds of scriptures for me."

"Beginning next year, the scriptures will be recompiled, and the whole world will be in use, and the previous scriptures will be burned, and no further study will be allowed."

This is a means of maintaining great unification.

Teach the use of teaching.

"Your Majesty, if you rashly burn the scriptures, it will cause opposition from believers." Geng Jiuchou reminded.

"Burning is violent, and no faith is allowed." Zhu Qiyu agreed.

Sect. Teaching is too tricky.

Zhu Qiyu didn't want to touch it.

The problem is that if you go west, you have to touch this problem.

To the south, the most difficult terrain and dense rainforest are insoluble for the Ming soldiers.

The land to the west is vast, ethnic, linguistic, ethnological. Teaching and other problems are a headache.

Zhu Qiyu really wanted to give up these places and move to the Americas.

But Shenzhou is the land of the ancestors, how can you lose it?

The only thing that makes Zhu Qiyu happy is that the northwest has not yet been Yihua, and the east of Hami is still a paradise for Han people.

"By the way, Fei Fan found a kind of black oil, this black oil can ignite, can you know it?" Zhu Qiyu asked.

There seems to be no precedent for burning oil in the Ming Dynasty.

"Your Majesty, this black oil can shine at night, and there are books in the previous dynasty."

Chen Wen stood up and said: "Your Majesty, when Weichen was an official in Yunnan, he passed through Sichuan, and the salt wells in Sichuan were illuminated with black oil, and even Weichen saw the oil production equipment. ”

"What?" Zhu Qiyu was shocked.

Daming also produces oil?

Will they use it?

Not to mention, Daming really has oil wells, although there is no official mining now, but the place is already mining, used for lighting and fuel.

Zhu Qiyu still wants to use black oil to scare the ministers.

It turns out that everyone knows.

The eunuch brought a glass jar containing black oil, which burned with a fire breaker and gave off a pungent smell.

"Your Majesty, this is exactly what it is." Chen Wen has a lot of knowledge.

Yao Kui also nodded slightly: "Don't hide it from Your Majesty, when Weichen was patrolling the place, he had seen the people use this as a lamp." ”

Come on, I'm lonely and unheard.

"Fei Fan tried, this thing can't be doused with fire."

Zhu Qiyu said: "So I thought about it, use it to burn the forest of Annan!" ”

In fact, he took it for granted.

Even if you use gasoline, you can't burn the rainforest.

He had already asked Fei Fan to purify the oil.

In fact, what he values most is asphalt, which can be used to pave roads.

Using asphalt to repair the Chi Road is equivalent to having an ancient highway, and he can better control the border areas such as Annam, Hami, and Korea.

The courtiers whispered.

"Whether this thing can be used or not, try it in Guizhou first."

Guizhou Tusi, all of them are huge, the city is built in the mountains, it is not easy to conquer, try fire attack with oil!

Maybe there will be unexpected effects.
