Because Liaodong is gradually prospering, and the Tatars have suffered defeats and gradually declined, the leaders of the Nuergan region are respectful to Yisha Habi, showing their willingness to belong to the Celestial Empire, and Yishaha seizes this opportunity to strike while the iron is hot, and warmly invites the leaders of the Nuergan region to make a pilgrimage to the Son of Heaven.
After some preparations, the leaders of several large tribes in the Nuergan area, such as Thorn Daha and Gu Donkey, rushed all the way to Beijing, the news came, Zhu Di was overjoyed, and tracing back to the source, this credit is inseparable from Xia Xun's achievements in Liaodong, and it can be determined that this is the result of Liaodong and radiating slaves, Zhu Di inevitably remembered a dispute with Xia Xun in Dabao'en Temple.
Xia Xun expressed his different opinions on Annan face to face with him, although Zhu Di was angry, he would not complain about Xia Xun for this, Zhu Di is not a person who does not tolerate dissenting opinions, whether it is during his martyrdom or after he became the emperor, he always allows the voice of different opinions, if he is a person who only knows how to act according to orders and never has his own opinions, he will never be sent out by him to stand alone.
Once Zhu Di made a decision, he would inevitably make an arbitrary decision, and his decision to make an arbitrary decision was precisely after he listened to all kinds of different opinions, repeatedly scrutinized and considered the opinions of these people, and constantly improved, supplemented, and revised his own views, and finally came up with them.
But now he is still under the banner of punishing the rebellion of the vassal state as the suzerain, and fighting against Annan in the name of "rising and destroying and succeeding", he is not good at showing the intention of annexing Annan, and his plan is to buy several powerful ministers of Annan through a close minister, so that they can take the initiative to ask the Ming Dynasty to follow the ancient system to restore the county, and it is only logical at that time.
Zhu Di deliberately met with Xia Xun alone in the Dabao'en Temple, and it was a little difficult to say before confiding in him, it was for this reason that he had no one to discuss now, and before he launched the officials and people of Annan to "take the initiative to ask for annexation", he could not let people know that he coveted Annan, which is contrary to the moral ideas formed by China's thousands of years of cultural inheritance.
Xia Xun did many secret things for him, and when he passed through Liaodong, he fought with Korea for every inch of land, and these behaviors made him feel that Xia Xun was the most likely to agree with his opinion, and Xia Xun really did not object.
Xia Xun did not object, which means that Xia Xun really did not stand on a moral standpoint and talk about it, learn from those rotten Confucians, and talk about the clichés of the Heavenly Empire and the State of Etiquette.
Xia Xun is even more "vulgar" than him Zhu Di, he is completely based on the gains and losses of interests, like a businessman who must compare the baht, after repeated comparisons, he thinks that the gains outweigh the losses, so he raised objections, so he did not arouse Zhu Di's disgust.
He also knew that although Xia Xun disagreed with the opportunity to annex Annan, if he still wanted to send Xia Xun to conquer Annan, Xia Xun would still go all out.
But Zhu Di's surname also has his own stubbornness, since you are not optimistic, I don't need you, I will ask you to watch with your own eyes, to see if what I said is right, or what you said is right With such a mind, he instructed Zhang Fu to do it, hoping that Zhang Fu can live up to expectations and fight for him to get back this breath.
Now that the leaders of the Nuergan tribes went to Daming to ask for annexation, Zhu Di couldn't help but think of Xia Xun's performance in Liaodong.
Xia Xun was very good at Liaodong, he thought that Xia Xun could be the best candidate to annex Annan, but who knew that Xia Xun was strongly opposed.
Thinking that Liaodong, there is Tatar oppression in the west, and North Korea in the east, and the environment should be more sinister than Annan, why is Xia Xun so keen on consolidating Liaodong, and constantly encroaching and annexing, expanding the territory, but he doesn't think so Could it really be that I was wrong?
Zhu Di seriously recalled what Xia Xun had said, and after thinking about it carefully for a while, he still didn't agree with Xia Xun's statement, but he no longer took it lightly.
He asked someone to inform Hu Hui that in the process of searching for Jianwen's whereabouts, he should pay attention to the news from all directions, and those who went to the north to search for him should pay attention to collecting some information about Tatar Warat.
Because if there is a great chaos in the north, as Xia Xun said, he must focus on the north, which is the henchman of the Ming Dynasty, and Annan is the icing on the cake for the Ming Dynasty, and its important surname cannot be compared with the Saibei at all.
On this point, he is highly consistent with Xia Xun's views.
When the Jurchen and Mongolian leaders of the Nuergan region arrived in Beijing, Zhu Di held a grand welcome ceremony, and at the request of the leaders of the tribes, he set up the Nuergan guard, and named the four tribal leaders such as Radha as the commander of the Tongzhi, and the ancient donkey and other leaders were pacified by thousands of households, and gave seals, crowns, belts, clothes and banknotes.
After that, a number of guards were set up in the north and south areas of the Yangtze River basin and the Songhua River, the Ussuri River, the Green River, the Heng Rolling River and other river basins, which were mainly still dominated by local tribal leaders, and were transformed into officials of the Ming court in the form of feudal edicts, and then of course some Han troops were sent over to further strengthen the rule over the region.
When these guards are stabilized, they form a line through one point after another, penetrate the entire Nuergan area through one line after another, and finally control the entire Nuergan area like a big net through military and economic and trade development, and then set up a local military and political yamen in the Nuergan area.
This development model is somewhat borrowed from the development model of Liaodong.
In order to achieve this goal, it is necessary to prepare in advance, and Zhu Di has been a little busy these days, he frequently meets with the tribal leaders of the Nuergan area, drinks banquets, discusses matters, understands the details of the Nuergan area, and convenes the cabinet, the Governor's Office of the Five Armies, and the military department to make arrangements for the Nuergan area.
In the afternoon of that day, Zhu Di had just agreed on some matters related to the Nuergan area, and sent the people from the Governor's Office and the Cabinet of the Five Armies to leave, and Mu En brought it up with a music box.
Zhu Di looked at the secret box, and knew that this was the secret music that crossed the Tongzheng Department and the inner study and went directly to the imperial front, and the originally tired body immediately sat up straight, he opened the secret box, took out the music and saw that it was the news that Hu Hu sent back to Beijing on a fast horse, and only one thing was mentioned in it: "In the Mongolian Stan area, the Timur Emperor's team has frequent activities, and the number of troops is gradually increasing, which seems to be suspected of eastward invasion" Timur was indeed going on a crusade to the east In recent years, Timur has conquered India, slaughtered Delhi, occupied Iran, invaded Turkey, fought Syria, captured Iraq, Baghdad and Damascus, and captured the Ottoman Turkish Sultan Bayesid.
The Europeans trembled, and Timur had slaughtered the Holy Roman, Byzantine and French armies in Bulgaria six years earlier, when they were considered the best armies in Europe at the time, but Timur had wiped them out in a single day.
Africans were also terrified, as the Egyptian Mamluk cavalry had annihilated the invincible Mongol expeditionary force in Palestine a century earlier, but Timur had beaten it twice in a year.
Genghis Khan and his descendants established the native Yuan Dynasty and the four khanates of the Great Mongol Empire, long before Timur, the Ögedai Khanate was divided by the other four states, and now three more Chagatai, Yil, and Golden Horde have submitted to Timur, and the remaining Yuan Empire has long since collapsed on its own, leaving only some tribes that are not affiliated with each other to fight each other on the Mongolian plateau.
Since the beginning of the world, there has never been such a powerful armed force in the universe as Timur.
This Turkic cripple, who pretends to be a descendant of Genghis Khan, will be invincible and invincible, whether it is marching into Europe or Africa Everyone is doomed, and all the monarchs are praying their most devout prayers to their God and Allah, but they still believe in despair that they will soon return to heaven under the butcher's knife of Timur.
But when the prayer took effect, the Almighty God appeared, and the cripple, who was more terrible than Satan, suddenly withdrew.
The terrible Timur the Great abruptly gathered his army and returned to his splendid capital, Samarkand, leaving behind a bunch of terrified Western monarchs to restore their ruined state.
Because Timur the Great was no longer interested in them, he had a new goal of conquest, he was going to the East, he was going to conquer the Ming Empire When he sent Aldusha and Gaisuyaddin to the Ming Dynasty, the emperor of the Central Plains had already become Zhu Yunwen, and in Timur's view, Zhu Di only occupied a corner of Yanjing to fight against the whole of China, and there was no hope of victory, and he didn't care about the so-called rebellion of the vassal king named Zhu Di at that time.
But by the time his envoys arrived in China, the emperor of China had changed from Zhu Yunwen to Zhu Di.
When his mission rushed back to report the news to him, Timur was taken aback, and he realized that he might have to meet a strong opponent Zhu Di had just ascended the throne, and he had won the world as an anti-king, at this time his political situation was bound to be unstable, and the people's hearts were bound to be uncertain, which was tantamount to the best opportunity to attack, so Timur gave up those vulnerable opponents and quickly assembled an army.
This was what he had always regarded as his ultimate goal, to go to China, to conquer first China and then Mongolia, and only then could he rightfully become the Great Khan of all Mongolia and replace Genghis Khan For this reason, he has been preparing for many years, he has been doing reconnaissance in the northern, central and western parts of China for more than ten years, collecting a lot of intelligence, he has explored several routes that can be used to the east, and his forward army has already entered the western part of the Mongolian province of stanjiang, captured Khotan, and advanced all the way to the middle reaches of the Tarim River.
It's time, he has already waged countless jihads, and this time, he is going to launch a "Chinese jihad" To be continued:
