I am the king of the dead

Fei Yiying came to the capital to rush for the exam. He is a juren himself and has the qualifications to take part in the imperial examination. Also, in recent years, in the matter of maritime trade, as a merchant who personally escorted the ship to Namba Port of Japan, he was in the sea. On the matter of trade sea rights, he has his own unique views.

Only Jinshi and the first degree are eligible to enter Shilin and stand above ten thousand people again.

And Zhu Qiyu received Chen Xun's memorial, read it for a long time, and asked Xing'an to call Yu Shaobao over.

Zhu Qiyu's bottom line is to reduce or exempt [-]% of banknote tariffs, and when Chen Xun talked about the tax rate, Kang Guo reciprocally reduced or exempted [-]%, which is not a disadvantage for Daming.

But regarding the matter of the old coins, Chen Xun reported the truth and strongly opposed the old coins, as if once Daming gave the silver and silk old coins, it would be like rubbing Daming's face on the ground.

Daming, who is strong and strong, absolutely cannot accept such a peace agreement that loses power and humiliates the country like Suibi.

As the emperor of Ming Dynasty, Zhu Qiyu couldn't accept it either.

Taizu and Emperor Taizong of the Ming Dynasty, which lasted more than [-] years, made thirteen northern expeditions to the grasslands, and Emperor Taizongwen Zhu Di personally conquered Mobei five times. The Mongolia that he conquered fell apart and became the current three tribes of Tatar, Wuliangha, and Oala. .

The Northern Yuan Dynasty lost its emperor title, and could only call itself the Northern Yuan Han Court, and then let dogs bite dogs on the grassland, and finally broke up the Bei Yuan Han Court, and the Tatars could only call themselves the Yuan descendants.

Although the Ming Dynasty suffered a disastrous defeat in the Battle of Tumubao, the Ming Dynasty won a complete victory in the Battle of the Capital, the Battle of Xuanfu, the Battle of Jining, and the Battle of Hetao. Through various vertical and horizontal means, the Ming Dynasty finally forced Oala to go west and cut off its tail. The point of survival.

In this situation, Zhu Qiyu promised Suibi that the courtiers would really rebel.

The strong Ming Dynasty is one of the cornerstones of the founding of the Ming Dynasty and an important part of the core centripetal force. Zhu Qiyu, bearing the name of the king of subjugation, cannot dig the foundation of the Ming Dynasty.

In addition to old coins, there is nothing else.

Zhu Qiyu thought about it, and added the 30 silver coins and [-] silk to the tribute city.

The expenses for helping the military brigade are real but unnamed.

"See Your Majesty, is Your Majesty safe?" Yu Qian bowed his head in salute, and he also knew that there was news from Kang Guo.

Zhu Qiyu looked at Yu Qian's full court, rosy complexion, and full of energy, and said with a smile: "I'm safe, give me a seat, this is the specific regulations of the Kangdu peace talks."

The emperor told Yu Qian of his plan, Kang Guo would not give in, and Zhu Qiyu was willing to pay the money, which was the money for leasing Luntai (Urumqi), until Daming took Alashankou, then the lease would become possession.

After listening to it, Yu Qian said quite seriously: "Your Majesty, I think it's impossible. Tribute, tribute market, old coins, etc., no matter what the name is, this money cannot be given!"

"If this is the case, it is better to take down Hami and Anle (Turpan) to solve your worries, and then attack Luntai."

Zhu Qiyu looked at Yu Qian and said with a lot of emotion: "Under Yu Shaobao's Winter Order, I don't want to send troops easily. If the war in the Northwest is anxious, it will be unfavorable to Daming, so I am willing to negotiate a peace."

"Even if many people die, can't you give it?"

Yu Qian is particularly good at governing the country, he said solemnly: "No."

"Tell me the reason." After thinking over and over again, Zhu Qiyu decided to listen to Yu Qian's opinion.

Chapter 639 The king is suspicious

The reason why Zhu Qiyu wants to give the old coin to Kang Guo through a flexible method is to plot the Western Regions.

The situation in the Western Regions was very chaotic. Da Ming's understanding of the Western Regions was only during the Yongle period.

At this time, the Western Regions were in chaos, and the Eastern Chagatai Khanate was divided into many small countries, including Hami Kingdom, Liucheng Kingdom, Huozhou Kingdom, Turpan Khanate, Khotan Kingdom, and Kashgar (Hashihar). The country and Zhengshuo don't lose the Bali country.

The Western Regions did not have a strong and powerful ruler. The chaotic war of the Seven Kingdoms lasted from the Yongle period to the Kangxi period, and the Seven Kingdoms were annexed by Galdan.

Ge Erdan annexed the entire Western Regions, sitting on nearly 700 million square kilometers of land, and began to conquer the Qing Dynasty.

From Kangxi to Qianlong for a total of more than [-] years, they conquered each other, and finally the Qing court destroyed the Zhungeer Khanate, and the Qing court completely controlled the Western Regions.

And Zhun Geerdan's surname is Cholos, which is Cholos of Cholos Yexian.

And the headquarters of the Wala tribe is the Zhungeer tribe.

The Western Regions in the seventh year of Jingtai was also extremely chaotic.

Yemili Huozhe is the fourth-generation Khan of the Turpan Khanate and the No. 12 grandson of Genghis Khan. During his reign, he worked hard to govern and annexed Liucheng and Huozhou, eyeing the Hami Kingdom.

Just as no one knows who the emperor of the Wa Kingdom is, but only the Muromachi Shogunate, no one knows what Hanus Khan of the Eastern Chagatai Khanate looks like in the Western Regions at this moment, but the name of Mili Huo Zhe is like a thunderbolt. .

Zhu Qiyu wanted to obtain Luntai City from Kang Guo through the method of old coins, deepen Ming Dynasty's military influence over the entire Western Region, and finally catch the turtle in the urn against the Yemi Lihuo Zhe.

This practice is by no means uncommon in history. For example, Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin once gave Cao Bin a sword, went south to Jiangnan, and took Jiangnan in a peaceful way.

However, Kublai Khan’s approach in the Yuan Dynasty is almost the same as Cao Bin’s going to the south of the Yangtze River. He exchanged a small amount of killing for the support of the gentry in the south of the Yangtze River and won the surrender of most cities. This kind of gentle strategy is to kill Meng Ge in Diaoyu City Afterwards, adjustments were made.

This kind of strategic adjustment also directly caused the disintegration of the Mongolian Empire. The three major khanates outside the Great Wall supported Ali Boke, and regarded Kublai Khan and other tribes in Monan who held a soft policy as heresies.

Kublai Khan and Ali Boke competed for the Khan position, and it was also the beginning of Mongolia's decision-making in the form of an alliance between the north and the south.

Kublai Khan's Huairou policy was one of the reasons for the rapid demise of the Southern Song Dynasty.

General Ali Haiya under Kublai Khan took less than 2000 people and occupied Hunan and Hubei in less than four months. Fang, Shi, Jingmen and all the caves, all surrendered, and since then the Southern Song Dynasty has quickly perished and the world has been determined.

The same Kublai Khan's approach also laid a hidden danger for Yuan Yikuan to lose the world.

Zhu Qiyu wanted to integrate the entire Western Regions, the Hami Kingdom, the Turpan Khanate, the Khotan Kingdom, the Kashgar Kingdom, and the Bieshabali Khanate through Huairou's means.

This is a less costly approach.

"Your Majesty, in the sixth year of Zhengtong, King Jili sent an envoy He Yu to Hami to enshrine King Tamer of Hami. He heard about the chaos in the Western Regions and dared not go forward. King Jili was furious and sent He Yu to prison, and then sent his envoy Li Zhen Go, Li Zhen said that the illness is not going away, and King Hami has no real name." Yu Qian closed his eyes for a moment, and talked about the past.

The name of King Hami who was enshrined by the Ming Dynasty last time was Bu Dashili, and his wife was Yexian's sister Nuwenda Shili.

After the death of the old Hami king Bu Dashili, Bu Dashili's son, the new Daming Zhongshun King Daowa Dashili, was also invited to visit Wala's lair and Lin in the fourth year of Zhengtong.

The purpose of first inviting his sister and nephew to Helin is naturally to completely control the entire Kansai Seven Guards, and then form a siege of the entire Ming Dynasty.

After the new Hami King and Daming Zhongshun King were invited away, the Hami Kingdom supported a new king, Tamerlane. After six years of orthodoxy, Hami asked for canonization, and that was why He Yu dared not act and Li Zhen lied about illness.

Daming negotiated with Wala and released the mother and son first.

After ten years of orthodoxy, Yexian invited the mother and son to Helin as guests.

The king of Hami is still Tamerlane in essence.

Yu Qian continued: "Your Majesty, the old coins cannot be given, and the situation in the Western Regions is complicated. If we act with gentleness, I am afraid that we will repeat the same mistakes that Yuan lost the world with his leniency."

The main reason for Yu Qian's disapproval of Suibi is not only because of the foundation of the founding of the Ming Dynasty - disharmony and no Suibi, but also from the perspective of long-term stability.

The result of Huairou is naturally to quickly rule the Western Regions, but it will bury hidden dangers for Ming's rule of the Western Regions.

The Western Regions are really too far away.

When the Western Han Dynasty conquered the Western Regions and repeatedly sent troops to conquer, Datang formed the Long March athletes. For nearly a hundred years, during the Anshi Rebellion, Datang's Long March athletes returned to Fangguan, which became an important bargaining chip for Datang not to fall in the Anshi Rebellion.

Zhu Qiyu thought for a long time, then nodded and said: "What Yu Shaobao said is very true. The old coins cannot be awarded. This matter will not be reviewed, and we will act according to the agreement."

Yu Qian's expression became a little more relaxed. It is a blessing for Daming that His Majesty can still accept good words.

Why did Wang Fu insist on the 30 silver and [-] silk as expenses for the military brigade?

Naturally, it was because Wang Fu, the de facto king of the Kang Kingdom, had just been emptied, and urgently needed to express his position.

He was the one who invited Daming's envoy to Kang. If Wang Fu ceded Luntai City to Daming at will, would Wang Fu be the king of Kang?

Therefore, Wang Fu insisted on helping the army, but Daming refused to pay, and Wang Fu had no choice.

In the original historical line, in the eighth year of Jingtai, that is, the first year of Tianshun, Ming Dynasty Zong, who was seriously ill, held a court meeting with his body supported. One thing was discussed at the court, which was to reopen the Western Regions.

All the seven guards in Kansai belonged to Oala, and the Western Regions were in chaos. While the military pressure of the Shaanxi Xingdu Division was extremely high, the economic pressure was also very high. Because successive years of wars led to the impassability of trade routes, the entire Shaanxi Xingdu Division did not see ten in a year. peddler.

Under the weakness of Ming Dynasty's military and economy, return to culture.Etiquette has seriously eroded Shaanxi Xingdusi and Shaanxi. The officials of the Ministry of Rites, headed by Hu Wei, were obsessed with etiquette and wrote a letter to reopen the Western Regions.

Emperor Zong Jingtai of the Ming Dynasty proposed to reopen the Western Regions, but it came to an abrupt end after the event of seizing the gate on the [-]th of the first lunar month.

The restored Ming Yingzong Zhu Qizhen took over the issue of reopening the Western Regions. When the court discussed the matter, Zhang Zhaofu, the censor of the capital, said: "Shandong is famine, and the government, China, silver and food are empty. It is not appropriate to move without authorization. The issue of reopening the Western Regions is over." Of.

It is worth mentioning that Zhang Zhao, who was orthodox for ten years, strongly opposed and persuaded Ming Yingzong not to return to the West after the Xiafan sea ship in Fujian was burned by the civil uprising.

Guo Yan, the prefect of Fujian Province, was impeached by Zhang Zhao and went to Sizhou Prefecture, Guizhou to be the prefect.

Zhu Qiyu looked at the huge map in front of him. On it was the five countries of the Western Regions. Among you, I have you, and I have you among me. The situation is complicated. If Kang Guo does not cooperate and reopens the Western Regions, Daming will need to put in a lot of energy .

He pointed at Turpan, Liucheng, Huozhou, Hami and other places worriedly and said: "These four cities are important passes on the Silk Road of the Ming Dynasty. If they are in the hands of others, how can I sleep peacefully?"

"Yemi Lihuo is known as the Kokang King in the Western Regions. He is famous for his bravery. He has thousands of elite soldiers and more than [-] retinues. Among the five countries in the Western Regions, he has a great reputation. If the old coins are not given, Kang Kingdom will definitely not give up. Taicheng will even form an alliance with the Turpan Khanate to fight against the Ming Dynasty."

"I'm going south soon, the Western Regions are in chaos, do I want to leave a mess to the emperor?"

Yu Qian looked at the Kanyu map, and was also full of worries. The crux of the winter order of the Ming Dynasty lies in the south of the Yangtze River. His Majesty went south to the south of the Yangtze River. We can only wait until His Majesty returns to Beijing.

The Imperial Study Room of Juxian Pavilion fell into silence. After Xing'an whispered to Xiaohuangmen, he said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, Minister of Rites Hu Wei and Minister of Honglu Temple Ma Huan request an audience."

"Xuan."

"Your Majesty, I'm waiting to see you. Is Your Majesty safe?" Hu Wei and Ma Huan came hand in hand and bowed their heads in salute.

"I am safe, give me a seat."

Hu Yi sat down and said immediately: "The reason why I came here this time is because the Turpan Khanate also paid tribute to the Mili Huo Zhe."

Zhu Qiyu was also taken aback for a moment, this can be regarded as dozing off and sending pillows, Hu Wei came so timely every time, he said with a smile: "Said Cao Cao Cao Cao arrived, I and Yu Shaobao are discussing this matter, this Turpan Khanate The messenger is here?"

Yu Qian was also quite surprised and asked with a smile: "What is the job of the envoy? Could it be possible to decide everything in Turpan?"

Ma Huan didn't know why His Majesty paid so much attention to the Turpan Khanate. After all, Chen Xun was sent as an envoy to Kang, and the contents of the peace talks in Kang were not leaked, but Ma Huan hurriedly said: "The envoy is Yemi Lihuo himself... "

As the khan of the Turpan Khanate and the general of the Chahar Khanate, Yemi Lihuo came to the Ming capital to pay tribute in person.

Zhu Qiyu was stunned.

In order to force Tuotuo Buhua to go to the capital of the Ming Dynasty, Daming didn't know how much thought it took to force the poor and settled Tuotuo Buhua to enter the capital to present the letter of alliance. Is this why the dense fire fighters came here uninvited?

"Did you say what's going on?" Zhu Qiyu asked a little strangely.

Ma Huan took out the letter of credence and handed it to Xing'an, and then said: "Please grant the imperial edict of the Ming Dynasty King Guokang."

Zhu Qiyu opened Yemi Lihuo's credential, read it for a long time, then handed it to Yu Qian, and said with a smile on his face: "It's much more beautiful than the unpainted characters."

"Ningwei is colder than Turpan." Yu Qian took the letter of credence and answered a sentence.

The words that don't take off are really uncanny.

Yemi Lihuo, whose surname is Bo'erjijin, is a serious gold family.

In the letter of credence, Yemi Lihuo asked Daming to canonize him as the king of Kokang, and he should have a seal, ribbon, clothes and other things; in addition, he also asked Daming to give him a Chinese surname and a Chinese name in accordance with the old rules of respect and obedience, so as to set the record straight; It is to invite Daming to attack Hami City and Luntai City together.

Uncle Gongshun Wu Yuncheng was a Tatar, whose original name was Batu Timur. He was a big family in Hexi. He had lived along the Yin Mountains for generations. The Earl of the World Marquess, served as the governor of the right army.

Wu Yuncheng's surrender was the basis for Ming to establish the entire Shaanxi Xingdu Division. In the early years of Yongle, Batu Timur was the king of Hexi.

Wu Yuncheng's two sons, Wu Kezhong and Wu Keqin, died in the Battle of Yaoerling during the Tumubao Incident. Wu Kezhong got off his horse and knelt down and shot. Death, this is the information that Yu Qian inspected the frontier and went to Yao'erling in person to find the information repeatedly confirmed by the rout.

Yemi Lihuo's request is not too much. He is a decent steppe nobleman by birth, the great khan of the Turpan Khanate, who annexed the Liucheng Kingdom and the Huozhou Kingdom. He is powerful, not inferior to Wu Yuncheng's Hexi clan. With more than [-] elite soldiers, it is an important military force in the Western Regions.

Ye Milihuo came to the capital of the Ming Dynasty in person, please grant the Chinese surname, the Chinese name, and the Spyker, the meaning is very clear, I hope to get the upright Spyker of the Ming Dynasty like Uncle Cong Shun.

Zhu Qiyu looked at Kanyu map, and said suspiciously: "Attacking Hami and Luntai together, what kind of wishful thinking is this? Do you think I, Ming, have been taken advantage of?"

Yu Qian and Hu Wei glanced at each other, they didn't quite understand why His Majesty had such an idea.

Obviously, Ye Mili Huo Zhe's plan is to completely surrender to Daming, but His Majesty has always expected the enemy to be lenient, which makes sense.

The king is suspicious.

Yu Qian hesitated and said: "Your Majesty, Ye Mili Huo Zhe's official documents say that when the Kingdom of Hami is destroyed and Luntai returns to Daming, he and his wife and children will move to the capital to support His Majesty."

Zhu Qiyu narrowed his eyes slightly and said: "What he said sounds nice. Honglu Temple will talk to him first, and confirm his identity first. If the identity is false, then there is no need to talk about it."

"The minister accepts the decree." Ma Huan, the newly appointed Minister of Honglu Temple and Jijiu of Haishitang hurriedly bowed his head to receive the decree.

This is the first major event he took over, and if it is completed, it will be a great achievement.

Yu Qian was an old god and said: "Since he said it, if he can't do it, Daming will help him do it."

Now that Daming has the strength to say such things, if he dares to go to the capital of Daming to fight the emperor's autumn wind, use up the emperor, and then abandon Daming in his shoes, then he can't blame Daming for his impoliteness, he just happens to be famous.

Hu Wei reported a few more things, first of all, the Overseas Maritime Commissioner, Joseon King Shouyang Dajun Li Yu had complied with Emperor Daming’s will and handed over all of Jeju Island to Daming. will deliver.

Under the supervision of Li Binyan, Naha Port and Ryukyu Shipbuilding Division have begun to take shape.

The King of Siam sent Roland Misun to pay tribute, and filed a lawsuit against Champa for looting, claiming that his tribute ship was detained by Champa at the port of Xinzhou in Champa, and asked the Ming Dynasty for mediation. Eight thousand catties of spices such as incense, cloves, black incense, pepper, and sumac.

The Minister of Honglu Temple has sent an official document to Champa to inquire about this matter.

This kind of thing is not uncommon. Da Ming often mediates such robbery cases, and already has a very thorough process.

Yu Qian met Yemilihuozhe, the king of the Turpan Khanate, in his prime, in his 30s, tall and powerful, with a straight nose and sunken eye sockets, and he looked like a hero.

"I pay my respects to Yu Shaobao." Ye Milihuo followed the Han ceremony, quite solemnly.

Yu Qian said politely: "You know me?"

Yemi Lihuo said with a smile: "Yu Shaobao tried his best to turn the tide. He is the minister of your majesty's humerus. He is the white jade pillar of the Ming Dynasty, and the purple gold beams of the country and the sea. May I ask who in the world doesn't know, who doesn't know?"
