I'm sure of the prosperous age of Kangxi and Qianlong!

Chapter 534 Uztandusi Exiled to Bangladesh

All the Tatar officers and generals were beheaded, and the Tatar soldiers below will also go to the mines to dig until they die.

But those Han people who surrendered their troops and generals certainly couldn't handle it this way.

After all, these people had defected and surrendered, and even informed the Ming army entering Kang in advance, so that they could ambush halfway and wipe out the Kang Zang Tatars so quickly.

Of course, the most important point is that these surrendered soldiers and generals are all Han people. Naturally, they cannot really be used as consumables in the mines like the Tatars.

Zhu Yijiong pondered for a while: "Zhang Guangsi and a group of Han surrendered generals not only defected before the battle, but also delivered the news to the Kangzang army in advance. There is no credit, but there is also hard work. He can be spared the death penalty by showing mercy outside the law, but... he can be exempted from the death penalty, but he will be punished by living. There was no way to escape. These surrendered generals and troops were all exiled to India and Bengal. They happened to be going there originally, but they were not allowed to carry guns and artillery, but they were allowed to carry armor, swords, and some light bows. "

"Draw up another imperial edict. In order to prevent these criminals who were exiled to Bengal from India from freezing and starving to death, the court can recognize any land that can be reclaimed in Bengal, but it must be customized by the court and land taxes must be paid. Also, add one more , if they can really carve out a large enough territory in Bengal and gather enough people, they can also be allowed to establish villages and towns, and then the central government will appoint and remove officials."

This series of decrees was issued, and the cabinet ministers couldn't help but be surprised.

This is not called exile. This is clearly the emperor's old trick of deporting (immigrating) some people to the border areas and then cultivating them for digestion.

But Bengal, India, was the territory of the Mughal Empire, and Mughal means the descendants of the Mongols. Although Bangladesh has long been a nominal territory, and the interior is similar to a warlord vassal town, it is also the land of an external vassal state.

The emperor actually wants to exile people to the land of other countries?

Several cabinet ministers instantly realized that this was the emperor's desire for expansion. Did the emperor like India?

The cabinet realized that it was almost dizzy. The Rakshasa Kingdom, Mobei, Junggar, Qinghai, Burma, and Zheng's Annan had already made enough enemies, and they had to fight each one.

Now that India is being added to the list, His Majesty is really not letting anyone stop!

If the emperor didn't go to war every year and knew how to recuperate, he would almost never be able to get rid of the reputation of being militaristic.

No, it can't be taken off now. He has expanded so much overseas, and the emperor's reputation among the people has already become polarized, or even tripolar.

One-third of the scholars believed that the emperor and the court were too militaristic, which was not a good thing. Another third believed that it was an expansion of territory and the recovery of the Han and Tang Dynasties was a major national event. The rest remained neutral, but I also felt that the emperor and the court were a little anxious.

However, the attitude of the people is very pure. Businessmen think that this is a good emperor, allowing them to stand up in countries around the world and make a lot of money.

The people also felt that the current emperor was much better than the previous Tatar emperor. Not only did he pay less taxes, but he also got land in his hands, which became the family business.

"There is also Kangzang. Since it has been recovered, we will also immigrate here in the next few years." Zhu Yijiong said, "The plateau area does not need to be taken care of, but those core towns, river valleys and plains must be in the hands of the imperial court. Immigration people may If you don't want to go here, then follow the example of Liaodong, which also gives priority to deporting criminals to immigrate. As long as the criminals are exiled here and cultivate it for more than three years, the court will allow them to own the land and allocate wives. As for the people, they will be from those Tibetan nobles. , purchasing female slaves in temples.”

The cabinet ministers were speechless again. The immigration pressure in areas such as Liaodong, Monan, and Guangnan is already strong enough. There are also overseas territories such as Luzon. How can there be so many immigrants? Even prisoners are not enough!

Sure enough, it was still comfortable to lead the British Empire. The Industrial Revolution directly broke out a large number of unemployed people, and then there was enough population to exile colonies everywhere.

Speaking of which, in a few decades, the beautiful country will begin its war of independence, and the life of the French Empire will also come to an end. The Americas must tighten their grip.

The Ming army's expedition against Kangzang this time can be said to be quite successful.

While Nanjing was still discussing the follow-up matters of Kangzang, Zheng Dingrui had already crossed the river to attack Qamdo, the gateway to the snowy land. Without any surprise, the Qamdo nobles and temples heard that Kangzang was defeated by the Ming army, and many Batang nobles fled here, so they immediately asked for surrender.

As soon as Qamdo surrendered, Tibetan people also immediately came to watch the wind and surrender, and presented a petition to the Ming court.

Nowadays, Tibet seems to be a whole, but after several invasions by the Manchus and Junggars, the internal Hoshuote Mongol regime has long since collapsed. There is no unified army and political power, and the nobles and temples basically rely on their own affairs.

Zhu Yijiong received the news and happily accepted the Tibetan confession.

As for slavery in Tibet, Zhu Yijiong does not intend to take action for the time being. The situation here is too complicated, and one move can affect the whole body.

However, the snowy area in Tibet cannot be moved, but Kang Zang can do it.

After repeated deliberations by the Cabinet and the Privy Council, it was finalized:

All areas east of the Jinsha River will be merged into Sichuan Province in the future. Some areas on the other side of the river, including the salt wells in Jiangka (Mangkang), were also incorporated into Sichuan's jurisdiction. but

Adunzi (Deqin) and Zhongdian (Shangri-La) were carved out and merged into Yunnan Province separately.

Moreover, although Kangzang was included in Sichuan, a separate governor of western Sichuan was required to govern the two sides separately from the governor of Sichuan, and was controlled by the governor of Sichuan.

The Kangzang area included in Sichuan and Yunnan will completely abolish slavery in the future, and it will still be in the name of the Seventh Generation. If anyone dares to disobey, it will be against the will of the emperor. The imperial court also has the right to send troops to conquer, and even the temples and nobles will lose their sense of resistance.

As for the snowy areas of Tibet, we still followed the old system of the pre-Ming Dynasty, restored the Uszangdu Division, and built cities and garrisons in Qamdo and Lhasa.

Both of these lands belong to river valleys and plains and can be cultivated and used for city construction and immigration.

Qamdo served as the strategic center of the Ming army, and Lhasa served as the future seat of the Uszangdu Division.

When Qinghai and Junggar learned that the snowy areas of Tibet had been captured by the Ming Dynasty, both sides chose to remain silent.

Historically, when the Qing Dynasty conquered Tibet, the Junggars also retreated obediently after their defeat in Tibet. After all, it is still the Little Ice Age. Although it has reached the end, the Tibetan land should still be cold, and it is still the kind of bad land that no one wants.

Tubo was able to compete with the Tang Dynasty because of the warming climate. It could support a large population just by relying on the river valleys and plains. But then the climate turned cold and Tubo collapsed in an instant.

The same is true for Junggar. They will not go to full-scale war with the Ming Dynasty just for this piece of rotten plateau land.

In particular, Galdan Celing, the new Great Khan, had only been on the throne for a few years and had a serious lack of authority. Moreover, he had the rashness to start a war with Qinghai. Even if he started the war, he could not win it after several years of fighting. There was already a lot of internal dissatisfaction. for dissatisfaction.

If he opens a second front in China, not to mention the unwillingness within the Khanate, even he himself does not have the confidence.
