Emperor Ming Dynasty

"Hami (Guyi Prefecture) is rich in products, and it is the homeland of Ming Dynasty—"

Since Gao Yigong regained Gansu, he has been free. Instead, the busiest thing is to sort out the military households and organize households for the common people.

Li Zijing, the rest of the thieves, occupied the Kangba area, and named himself the King of Kang, and subdued Daming, becoming a real vassal state.

In order to avoid being attacked on both sides, as a price, the Qinghai area had to be given to Daming.

In this way, Qinghai established the Qinghai Xingdu Division, just like Suiyuan, integrating the tribes into hundreds, sub-thousands, and thousands of households, which became an inseparable part of Ming Dynasty.

As a result, the Qinghai area was under the management of Gansu, and Wanqi was recruited to cooperate with the integration of more than [-] soldiers and horses in Gansu Province, totaling more than [-].

If it weren't for the prosperity of border trade and the constant merchants in the Western Regions, Gansu would have been overwhelmed.

Even so, farming has become the highlight of Gansu in recent years.

But Gao Yigong couldn't bear his temper.

Although he married a wife and took concubines in the past two years, but he had no heirs, but he couldn't help him wanting to make progress and become a Marquis.

To the east of Gansu is Shaanxi and Suiyuan, to the south is Qinghai, to the north is the desert, and to the west are Hami and Turpan.

After looking at it, only the Yarkand Khanate is the most vulnerable and the easiest to bully. Who made your capital in Kashgar and Shache?
Furthermore, Hami established Hamiwei in the early Ming Dynasty. Although it belonged to Jimi Land, it was also an official national territory.

And it has only been a hundred years since it was annexed by Yarkand, so it is reasonable to call it a hometown.

"Recovering the homeland, the world is perfect, and he is easy to bully. Isn't this going to increase the rank and become a noble?"

Gao Yigong pulled back the turban, ate the watermelon, and was soaked in the cold well water, which was extraordinarily refreshing. He looked at the land between the quilts in the distance, and couldn't help feeling deeply moved.

"Marquis, the governor's affairs must be hoped."

He stood up suddenly, feeling that he had a great future ahead.

After the destruction of Yarkand, there are Heshuote tribe, Junggar tribe and other Moxi Mongolian tribes in the west. If this continues, won't a duke be easily captured?

"It's a pity, it's a pity, a son and a half daughter."

Gao Yigong shook his head, feeling dull for a moment.

Whoever is getting older, he has already understood that it may be caused by the war, and his vitality has been hurt, and he is a little powerless at night.

Squinting his eyes, he gradually thought about it.

Suddenly, he thought of his sister and nephew who were far away in the capital.

The illegitimate son raised by the emperor will run away now, and if the jade disc has not been included, it is very likely that he will not enter the palace.

Wouldn't that be able to give me a pension and pass on the incense of the Gao family.

After all, at least half of Gao's blood.

"No, I have to write to the imperial court to regain Hami and the Western Regions. Time does not wait for me."

Gao Yigong hurriedly got up, ready to write a secret letter.

So, as soon as the letter of alliance from Yaerqiang came up, the letter of invitation from Gansu came.

The first thing the emperor browsed was the secret box.

Gao Yigong made it very clear that there are three advantages.

First, Gansu has a strong army that has been integrated for several years. The soldiers are starving for food and need a place to vent their anger, and Hami is just right.

Second, Jin Ou is perfect, and the old land of Hongwu is restored. Hamiwei was originally the land of Ming Dynasty, and even the land of Jimi cannot be occupied by Yaerqiang.

Thirdly, the Yeerqiang Khanate was beyond their reach. When they sent troops to Hami, the day lily was cold, and the Hami guards were vulnerable to the Ming army.

Zhu Yixi nodded slightly, and then looked at Yeerqiang's alliance letter.

It's nothing more than the same old routine, just want to form an alliance against the enemy, not to invade each other, and don't want to pay anything.

Subsequently, the four members of the cabinet received a summons from the emperor and started another temporary meeting.

Around the theme, it is Yarkand.

The cabinet ministers already knew about Yarkand's alliance letter, and even expressed anger about it.

Lu Daqi maintained his reckless personality, and was the first to speak, angrily said: "A mere Yarkand, with only a million people and a few cities, is nothing more than a Khanate, yet it wants to form an alliance with Ming."

"It also deserves?"

These words belong to naked, naked, naked discrimination, but they are recognized by everyone.

Even Zhu Yixi could understand his anger at this time.

Bringing the Confucian worldview into account, only Ming Dynasty is a civilized country in the world, the next level is Korea, Japan, Ryukyu, Annan and other dependent countries, and the lowest level is the barbaric Mongols.

The Yaerqiang Kingdom is nothing but the remnants of Chagatai. In their eyes, it is no different from the Horqin and Chahar tribes, and they all despise the bottom.

Furthermore, the fact that Yarkand paid tribute to the Ming Dynasty was equivalent to the status of a vassal state, and the vassal state formed an alliance with the suzerain state, which is as absurd as a son worshiping his father.

But in the eyes of Yarkand people, I pay tribute to you because I am afraid of causing trouble and cutting off your money. It is an act of benefit without cost.

We are both countries and countries, and alliances are normal behavior.

Different values ​​have different perspectives on issues.

After a lot of excitement in the cabinet, everyone did not agree to form an alliance, which was too shameful.

"Let the elders take a look."

The content that was concealed and copied was handed over by the eunuchs to the cabinet ministers.

This letter, which was diametrically opposed to the alliance, surprised the ministers.

Since they do not form an alliance with Yarkand, they must fight.

Your Majesty intends to go northwest?

There is nothing wrong with capturing Hami, after all, it is the old land, but who doesn't understand the emperor's mind?
Hami is just the starting point, and the vast Western Regions are the future.

"Why?" The emperor frowned, seeing the four people were silent, he couldn't help saying: "Hamiwei is the homeland, and it has been lost for only a hundred years."

"Besides, the situation in Gansu is different. The Hexi Corridor such as Suzhou and Ganzhou is severely desolate, the people are poor and land is scarce, and it is difficult to raise an army. After capturing Hami, it means that there is another piece of land to support the people. It is more secure to hold the Hexi Corridor."

This is the truth, but everyone is afraid that you will have to look forward to Shu, and you will be militarized!

"Your Majesty, Gansu is barren and there is not much money and food. In order to prevent Yarkand from counterattacking, we need to prepare more money and food. It will be more appropriate in two years..."

Yan Chongxin came out and persuaded them with money and food as an excuse.

"If there is no food, go and grab it." The emperor waved his hand and said casually, "There are so many Hami tribes, are you afraid of food shortage?"

This……

"Your Majesty, the imperial court is now using troops in Liaodong, and the remnants of the Manchu Qing Dynasty are still there. I am afraid that the two sides will be able to catch them with their troops."

Lu Daqi stood out again, biting the bullet and said.

"Gao Yigong is a veteran, I trust him."

He was so choked up that he couldn't speak.

The emperor took the initiative to attack and looked at Zhao Shu and Zhang Shenyan: "Do you have any ideas? No matter what you say, check for gaps and make up for gaps!"

Now, even if the two have something to say, they can only hold it in their hearts.

"There is nothing more holy than Your Majesty, and the ministers agree with the strategy of sending troops."

"That's fine."

Zhu Yixi smiled and said: "Master Gao Yigong sent troops to Hami, it seems that Gansu will expand another mansion!"
