my days with tyrants

Chapter 271

It was already early winter when Yang Feng entered Jiayuguan, and when he arrived in Suzhou, Zhu Yuanzhang's imperial decree to transfer Zhu Di to the Western Regions was announced to the world.

Of course, King Yan is still King Yan.

The title of knighthood does not change with the fiefdom.

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 Yan.

It starts from Baruntai in the east, Jinghe River in the north, Taros River in the west, and of course the Taklamakan Desert in the south.

Here, Baluntai crosses the throat of the Tianshan Mountains from the east. No matter if you want to go to the Yili River Valley from Turpan, Hutubi in the northern Xinjiang, or Chalisha, you have to go to the intersection of the mountains. Jinghe crosses from the north. The throat of the North Tianshan Mountains, because there are two branches behind it, one is Dengnultai Road and the other is Guozigou. There is no good place to go west after crossing the Taros River in the west. The Shate and Wusun ancient roads that go south from the Yili River Valley are both in Yan State.

The throat iron gate between southern Xinjiang and northern Xinjiang is also in the country of Yan.

It can be said that the traffic in the Western Regions is blocked.

All other forces were isolated by Yan State.

In addition, the number of Yan Wang's guards was increased to five, so as to prevent the six from being easily associated with the Sixth Army of the Son of Heaven, and the three guards originally in Beiping were returned to the commander of Beiping. In addition to the confirmed one guard in Taiping, the court selected four more for him Guard, but among the soldiers who followed him on the westward expedition, those who are willing to stay in the Western Regions will all be promoted to a higher level according to their original positions and stay...

But in fact, there will not be many willing to stay, that is, his cronies.

Ordinary soldiers and officers, who would be willing to go to the Western Regions, not to mention that everyone has made enough money this time, so it would be great to go home and enjoy the blessings!
Including the four guards promised by Zhu Yuanzhang, I am afraid it will be difficult to make up in a short time.

Fortunately, before the arrival of these four guards, the current officers and troops in the Western Regions can only be withdrawn in batches. This process may take two or three years, which is enough to complete the replacement.

There are more than 2 households in the four guards, plus thousands of herdsmen in Taiping. In addition, there are actually a small number of residents who are hard to say. In fact, there are also Han people.

But Naheishi only gave the surname Zhu and the name Zhu Yongzhong, changed Bieshibali to Tingzhou, changed Turpan to Gaochang, and changed Chalishi to Yanqi. Together with Shanshan and Huozhou, the five cities and their affiliated cities were merged into one Gao Changguo.

Then take Zhu Yongzhong as the king of Gaochang.

However, Changbali, which was originally attached to Bieshibali, was changed to Dihua, and the Beiting Metropolitan Command and Envoy Division was established in Dihua, and Dihuawei was established in Dihua.

Of course, not just one Dihua guard, but actually at least three guards. After all, there is still a large area of ​​wasteland that can be reclaimed westward from Changbali to Jinghe.

Mahama was named the king of Shule County, and the hereditary Shule Xuanwei envoy, the subordinates of the Shule Xuanwei envoy were the cities from Shule to Khotan, and each city had one person and one chief officer. Anyway, they affirmed in private They are still called emirs, so they don't need to be given too many officials, but at the same time, they set up an Anxidu command and envoy in Shule, and set up Shulewei.

This kind of operation is very common.

It is very common in the southwest to share the same city with the Weisuo.

For example, the Yongning Xuanfu Envoy of the Shejia and the Yongning Guard to which the Guizhou Du Commanding Envoy belongs. These two share Yongning City, separated by a Yongning River. Land is difficult to clearly separate.

Including the home of the Guizhou comfort envoy Shui'an, the actual base of the propaganda envoy is also Guiyang City.

And Guiyang was also the resident of the Guizhou Commander, later the Guizhou Chief Envoy, and the Guizhou Governor.

This system is very good at staring at the chieftains, who were almost suppressed by the military households. After the military household system collapsed, it became convenient for the military households to flee to the chieftain, and the military households who fled to the chieftain The households became the most powerful military force in the hands of the chieftains, helping them dominate one side, so during the She'an Rebellion, most of She Chongming's subordinates were Han Chinese.

A large part of them are Yongningwei military households who fled.

Therefore, compared with the generals of the Weisuo in the late Ming Dynasty, the chieftains have become more handsome.

However, both Dawan and Kunling commanded envoys, so there was no court guard, but Hazhi got his wish and got the title of King Dawan.

The king of Dawan and the commanders of Dawan did not conflict.

Theoretically, Dihua is still within the territory of Gaochang State, and the vassal state is a vassal state, and the commanders of the imperial court are stationed in the vassal state. In order to avoid increasing the burden on the vassal state, of course they have to reclaim wasteland and farm by themselves.

Nomads like the commander of Dawandu can only nomad by themselves.

As for the new Yue Jibie, who was also given the title of His Majesty the Emperor, they were divided into two parts. The nomadic chiefs on the west bank of the Irtysh River were given the title of command envoy, and they belonged to the commander of Kunling, and the nomadic chiefs on the east bank. It is also the command envoy of Jiji, but it belongs to the command envoy of Hanhai.

After such a long time, they were divided into two groups.

Timur was also officially titled.

King Kangju.

Samarkand was renamed Kangju.

But in addition, the commanders of Hezhong, Congling, and Persia are added.

King Kangju controlled the three capitals and commanded the envoys.

So his fief is actually only Kangju, and the others are under his jurisdiction, including the other areas in the river and Khorasan, Afghanistan, and Persia. These are just his jurisdiction. The emperor appointed him to manage, but the emperor can also withdraw at any time. his management rights.

Anyway, he was just pretending to submit, and Emperor Ming was just pretending to believe that he would submit, so there is no need to be too polite with him.

There is also a special existence, that is, Gulina. Her righteous deeds were appreciated by His Majesty the Emperor, so Khujand changed her name to Naturalization, and she was appointed as the chief of the Guihua Chief Division, and she was under the command and envoy of Dawandu.

So far, the Western Regions have temporarily settled down.

In the next time, what Ming needs to do is to withdraw the armies of the Western Expedition in batches, and at the same time send the Yanwang guards recruited from the mainland in batches, and not only the Yanwang guards, but also at least three of the Beiting Commander's envoys. Both Wei Junhu and Anxi commanded at least two guards in the envoy.The latter can be less, after all, there must be two guards of King Yan in Aksu and Quxian, so there are four guards in the southern border, three in the northern border, two in the Yili River Valley, and one in Taiping.

In fact, there are also four in northern Xinjiang, because Hami defended the Qianhusuo and was officially upgraded to Yiwuwei, avoiding the same name as Hamiwei of King Zhongshun.

In addition, Hanhai also has a guard.

This is in Khobdo.

But this guard has only one thousand households of Han people, and the other four are all Mongolian, and Yan Ranwei is similar.

The Mongolian grasslands are different from the Western Regions. In fact, as long as there are people in the Western Regions, it is easy to reclaim wasteland and farmland. However, it is very difficult to maintain a whole-organized Wei Dynasty by planting a hairy field on the Mongolian Plateau. Even in modern Mongolia, the agricultural population is only tens of thousands. , let alone in this era, neither Kobdor nor Hara Helin can have real agriculture at all.

One thousand households is the limit.

The military supplies of these two thousand households are in charge of the two commanders and envoys. Their main task is to maintain the post road, which connects the two places from Jiuquan to the north.

Actually business.

Businessmen from Daming can enter the Mobei Grassland, but when all the merchants who leave the customs come back, they must have the signatures and seals of the two guard commanders and the stamps of the stations along the way. , 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 support these two thousand households, because they have the right to Collect business tax.

It has to be said that the emigration task of the Ming emperor is also very arduous.

Even if some of the armies of the Western Expedition are willing to stay, it is enough to immigrate at least [-] households to the Western Regions and Mobei.

This is actually not difficult.

The big deal is to catch the strong men, and stay in places like the Western Regions with peace of mind.

Lue Yang.

"Are you going to learn from other emperors and raise the Sixth Court of Sangong?"

Zhang Ying looked at the mighty army of beauties calmly, and then said to Yang Feng who was riding the Akhal Tekin horse in the front.

It's not just her, all the men, women, old and children in Lueyang County are looking at this huge team with shocked eyes.

Horses and camels come and go endlessly.

On these horses and camels are either heavy pockets or exotic girls.

"Call my mother!"

Yang Feng said.

"mother!"

Then there were countless shouts.

Zhang Ying blushed instantly after being called.

"Everyone is calling me a mother, why don't you hurry up and give the reward, and there are more than 7000 in the future, you have more than 7000 daughters, and there are more than 1 in the Western Regions who will come next year!"

Yang Feng said.

"Are you going to fight or are you a human trafficker? With so many adopted daughters, you won't be afraid of being poor."

Zhang Ying said.

"Eat poor?"

Yang Feng smiled coldly.

Immediately afterwards, he drew out his knife, walked to a camel, and cut open the upper pocket with one knife. The next moment, with the dazzling golden light, countless gold coins flowed at once, and accompanied by the exclamation of the onlookers, they jumped on the stone below He looked like a little demon with demonic skills, making everyone's eyes fixed on him.

Yang Feng looked at them...

"Want it?"

He said.

Those onlookers all swallowed their saliva.

Then he pointed to the beautiful girl next to him...

"Do you want to?"

He said.

Then there was still the sound of swallowing saliva.

"Go to the Western Regions by yourself. The Western Regions are full of gold and beauties. I went there for a year. All of them belong to me, not just me. All those who followed me and the King of Yan on the Western Expedition all embraced beautiful women and led countless horses and camels. Come back with countless gold and silver on your back, 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 no use in swallowing saliva here."

Yang Feng said.

"Can't they rob you?"

Zhang Ying said.

Yang Feng smiled.

Then he looked at those greedy eyes.

"Indeed, you can rob me, but I need to remind you that I will kill you Nine Clans."

He said.

Immediately afterwards, he picked up the giant sword on the horse next to him, and stroked it with great concentration...

"This thing hacked more than 1000 people."

he said,
Immediately afterwards, the giant sword turned into a flash of cold light and swept over the unlucky camel in an instant. With the spray of blood, the camel's head fell to the ground, and the giant sword that swept over with blood swept over the nearby A tree, and then the tree fell, and a group of onlookers watched in fear.However, Yang Feng was not worried that someone would dare to rob him. In fact, Zhang Ying brought thousands of family members, that is, his armed employees. Because Shanxi paid taxes, he had a private armed force of 1000 people in Shanxi, specializing in armed tax collection. And there was also a thousand transport troops that Chang Sheng called for him.

His army of adopted daughters rode horses and camels from the Western Regions all the way to Longyou. They were already very tired. After all, they were all little girls, and it was winter, and there were still thousands of miles to go. In this case, why not choose a comfortable route.So he went here directly, and then notified Zhang Ying in advance through the banking system. The latter was in Taiyuan. Now Shanxi's tax package business is on the right track. She has been sitting in Taiyuan. When she received the news, she went directly to Xi'an to find Chang Sheng.

The latter arranged for transport ships from the Jialing River to wait here.

Next, these adopted daughters and belongings were loaded on ships, and then drifted straight down the Jialing River, all the way to Nanjing. As for the horses and camels, those servants and more than 100 tunnel diggers drove them to Shuofang.

It is impossible to take these livestock to Nanjing.

They need a lot of forage and food to feed, and there is no place for him to graze so many horses and camels in Nanjing.

But Shuofang can.

"ambassador!"

At this time, an officer who had been waiting for a long time stepped forward to salute.

This was sent by Chang Sheng. Although it is obviously illegal to use the army to transport the righteous daughter and money to Ambassador Yang, but now the emperor is seriously ill, and it is hard to say whether he can survive this year. In fact, the emperor's grandson has completely taken over In terms of government affairs, Ambassador Yang is the grandson of the emperor, so he can be said to be a teacher. This trivial matter is not worth mentioning.

"On the ship, turn back and leave a bag for you on a ship."

Yang Feng said.

"Ambassador, the villain dare not accept the reward."

The officer said excitedly.

"Uh, just keep it, I don't lack gold and silver here, and I'll go to the Western Regions to get it later."

Yang Feng said.

"Ambassador, the Western Regions are really full of gold and silver?"

The officer said cautiously.

"Well, the armies from the Western Expedition will come back one after another soon. Whether gold and silver are everywhere, you can see what they bring back."

Yang Feng said.

The first batch to return was the group that followed the Western Expedition. These guys really all carried gold and silver in their pockets.

Manpower at least two young women.

Although the Ming army did have a management system for seizures, Zhu Di didn't care about any system just when he was winning people's hearts.Anyway, his father is easy to get rid of, and it is enough to give those vassals tribute to his father. Besides, he also knows that his father is dying, and now he has given up competing with his nephew for the throne, so his nephew must not give him enough face ?
"If that's the case, I should invite you to go to the Western Regions myself."

The officer said with a leisurely and fascinated expression.

"Go, I will give you a righteous daughter when I get there. I have more than 1 righteous daughters that I haven't brought with me. There are too many of them. I can't take care of all of them."

Yang Feng sighed with emotion.

Immediately afterwards, he looked at the adopted daughters coming in mighty force...

"Come down, get on the boat, and I'll show you the colorful world."

he shouted.
