I am the king of the dead

Chapter 429 The Council of Samarkand

Chapter 429 The Council of Samarkand
Zhu Zhanqian’s memorial to the front page of the Bodi newspaper, and the memorial to report on various things in Guizhou, went to the capital along the post road.

At this time in Samarkand, Wang Fu had just tied up the cargo on the camels, and the caravan was about to head for Daming.

This is a huge gain after the Oirats broke through Samarkand. At this time, Oirats moved westward and stopped in Samarkand, and did not continue all the way west.

Wang Fu clapped his hands and put on a mask. This was invented by His Majesty the Great Emperor for Yu Shaobao, and he liked it very much.

There is a lot of wind and sand here.

Samarkand was called the Kang Kingdom in the Song and Tang Dynasties. Samarkand originally meant a fertile land and a place of healthy living.

At the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, the Kingdom of Jin rose in Liaodong, and the Liao Kingdom and the Great Song Dynasty were in peace for a hundred years. There was no military affairs and the military equipment was slack.

Yelu Yanxi, Emperor Tianzuo of the Liao Kingdom, led an army to conquer the Kingdom of Jin, and was defeated and returned. After the Kingdom of Jin broke through Huanglong Mansion, an important town in the Kingdom of Liao, it began its own journey to destroy the Liao Dynasty and the Song Dynasty.

During the Song Dynasty's journey to the south, a man named Yelu Dashi from the Liao Kingdom began to march westward with the last hope of the Liao Kingdom.

And the year name that Yelu Dashi has used for the longest time is the Kingdom of Kang.

The westward movement of Yelu Dashi met with great resistance. If you can’t say westward, I will let you go westward. I have to touch you to see if the dragon is crossing the river.

In the Katwan Grassland north of Samarkand, the Seljuk Empire united tens of thousands of troops and touched Yelu Dashi.

Then the Sarjuk Empire fell apart.

How many people are there in Yelu Dashi? 3 people.

The Liao army led by Yelu Dashi had an ally called the Xikara Khanate. This Khanate was established when the Uighurs were in the Tang Dynasty and could not survive in the south and north of the desert.

Theoretically speaking, Yelu Dashi and the West Kara Khanate have the same origin. They have a total of less than 4 troops, and they fought the Seljuk Empire with tens of thousands of troops, and their corpses lay tens of miles away.

Since then, Yelu Dashi has gained a firm foothold in the land of Kang.

The kingdom of Khwarizmo was originally a subsidiary state of the Seljuk Empire, but Yelu Dashi held his head down and returned to Xiliao. He donated [-] Jinbali every year and bowed his head as a vassal.

After the death of Yelu Dashi, Huarazmo Guoguo finally breathed a sigh of relief and started his glorious road to domination, but he met Genghis Khan.

At that time, Genghis Khan didn't want to conflict with the kingdom of Khorizim. He was attacking Xixia at that time. Xixia and Song Dynasty had been pecking at each other for so many years. There were not many other things, except that there were many castles, which was very troublesome.

Genghis Khan sent envoys to the country of Khwarizm, wanting to maintain their friendship.

Because the Khwarizm Kingdom was really strong at the time, Genghis Khan sent a caravan of 450 people and 500 camels to maintain a friendly business relationship with the Khwarizm Kingdom. Genghis Khan's mission killed everyone in the mission.

Genghis Khan sent an envoy again to tell Khorizmo to hand over the murderer. At that time, Khorizmo was at its most powerful and flourishing. King Mahamo of Khorizmo said with a smile: "Which onion is Genghis Khan?"

King Mahamo killed Genghis Khan's envoy, shaved off the beards of the two deputy envoys, and returned them to Genghis Khan.

Samarkand was also the capital of King Khorezm at that time.

No one knew why King Mahamo of Khwarizm was so arrogant at that time, but they started a nightmare that made the whole Western Regions tremble. Mohamo was like a child who opened Pandora's box.

Since then, Mongolia has begun to march west.

Genghis Khan led his children and generals, crossed the Jinshan Altai Mountain, and came to the kingdom of Huacizimo and started the four-way battle to attack Huarazmo.

In this battle, Mahamo was defeated, and he handed over the kingship to his eldest son Zarandin Minburnu.

A Ming is a man with a lot of backbone. He killed more than [-] Mongolian people in the Battle of Balu Bay, which greatly boosted the morale of the army.

But in the end, he was defeated, and Amin was killed by the mountain people, and his head was sacrificed in the big tent.

Standing in the wind, Wang Fu watched the caravan go far away with a smile on his face.

This is most of the gains from the Western Expedition of the Oirats. There are a lot of jewelry, livestock, jade, craftsmen, etc. going to the east, and a total of [-] camels will rush to Jiayuguan along the trade route.

No one can digest all the gains of the Oirats' western expedition, except Daming.

Samarkand, in the Tang Dynasty, was called Kang Guo, and there was the Kang Guo Dudu Mansion here.

In the ninth year of Tang Xuanzong's Tianbao, the Tang army was defeated in the Battle of Talas, because the Dashi Kingdom moved westward and was finally abandoned. There is still the old site of the Kang Kingdom's Governor's Mansion here, but it has been submerged in the wind and sand.

The first stop of the caravan will be at Suiye River, where they will be stationed in Suiye City.

Suiye City was an important border town in the Western Regions during the time of Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty. It was built in the model of Chang'an City. After passing Suiye City and passing through the Tianshan Ancient Road, you can travel to the Western Regions and eastward to Jiayuguan.

Suiye City was the birthplace of Li Bai, a poet of the Tang Dynasty, and was abandoned in the seventh year of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty.

Samarkand was also the capital of the Timurid kingdom.

Some people say that if Timur of the Timur Kingdom hadn't died on the way to the Eastern Expedition, Daming would have been difficult to deal with. The best result would be to lose the Hexi Corridor, because Timur seems to be very strong.

But in Wang Fu's opinion, they couldn't even beat Daming's dog.

After a long journey, fight against the Ming army that has gone through thirteen expeditions?

It was a strong army from the early years of Hongwu until the 22nd year of Yongle. Emperor Wen died on the way to his own conquest.

Aren't the Wara people, King Zhongshun and King Zhongyi of the Western Regions dogs raised by Daming?

Wang Fu gave up those boring thoughts about Guan Gong fighting Qin Qiong, time flies by, whether Timur is the opponent of Emperor Taizong Wen of Ming Dynasty, because of Timur's death, there is no real result.

But at this time, the dogs raised by Daming, the Wala people, had already occupied Samarkand, and urinated without any effort.

The prairie people who can't get along in the south and north of the desert have to go westward every time the Central Plains dynasty prospers in order to survive. This is the case with the Huns, the Xianbei, the Turks, and the Khitans. Now it is the turn of Oala The same is true for people.

Every westward advance has achieved brilliant results with an overwhelming advantage.

"Master Wang, Dashi is looking for you!" A cowardly Xue soldier rushed over and found Wang Fu and Wang Yue.

Wang Fu nodded, got on his horse and said with a smile, "Let's go, let Dashi wait."

The buildings in Samarkand are different from those in the Central Plains. The buildings here all have a domed top, and the stone pillars support the vault to form a continuous arcade. There is often a patio in the center of the courtyard.Repetitions of geometric patterns form elaborate motifs, often of plants and various figures.

There will also be round stone pillars higher than the main building on the main building, above which is a building overlooking the entire Samarkand.

Double domes, columns, vaults, tall stone arches and more.

The arcs here are all peach-shaped. In the early Tang Dynasty, the specialty of Kang Guo was a kind of golden peach, which was deeply loved by Li Shimin. They usually picked this golden peach when the peach was not ripe, and waited When I arrived in Chang'an City, it was just ripe.

As big as a goose egg and golden in color, it is said that one can live forever.

The arc of this golden peach can be seen on almost all buildings and utensils.

In Timur's palace, it is everywhere.

Wang Fu came to Timur's palace, went up to the dome, and found the Oala Stone, which was looking eastward, first.

He was also uneasy at first, since he went west, whenever he was free, he would always look back at the east.

Uneasy, upset.

"We won the great victory in Samarkand, but in fact they are very weak." He also withdrew his gaze to the east, feeling a little helpless.

He wanted to go back, but the Emperor of Daming had withdrawn his fist now, waiting for him to go back at any time, and then hammered him to death with one punch.

The Ming Emperor's army was not the coalition of the Golden Horde's small Khanates, and he would not go back to take risks if he was not fully sure.

Wang Fuman said with a smile: "Coming to Samarkand, it's like coming home."

Boyan Timur nodded to Wang Fu with a smile on his face. The Oirats or Mongols are very good at conquering, but they are not good at ruling.

But Wang Fu is very good at it.

Boyan Timur had a good impression of Wang Fu, because Boyan Timur was shrewd, he yearned for Daming, he changed his son's four Han surnames, and he even married his daughter to Daming King Jili.

According to news from the capital, Mo Luo, the daughter of Boyan Timur, and Zhu Jianshu, the son of King Jili, are doing well in the capital.

Of course, Boyan Timur didn't know that the Ming Law clearly stipulated that even the Zhu Jiu Clan would not kill children under the age of 15, so he thought it was the tolerance of the new Emperor of Ming.

Boya Timur liked chatting with Wang Fu very much, and this was the most powerful literati Boyan Timur could come into contact with.

"Beating them is as easy as a father beating a child." Boyan Timur said with certainty.

He also paused for a moment and said: "It is easier to hunt than the prey on the grassland. At least the prey on the grassland will hide when they meet the hunter, and they will gather together to make it more convenient for the hunter."

"It's like a school of fish clumping together and making it easier for the fisherman to fish."

Wang Fu nodded and said with a smile, "Indeed."

"Dashi, I think we should take a break in Samarkand, and then make friends with the Timur Kingdom." Wang Fu put forward his own suggestion.

He also nodded first and said: "Then everything must be managed by the King Lao."

"This is what I should do." Wang Fu bowed slightly and said with a smile.

Ye Xian trusts Wang Fu very much, because Wang Fu is a single husband, the moment he betrays Daming, he can only rely on him Ye Xian.

Of course, this is also the first point of view.

Wang Fu continued: "First of all, we will move the Lecture Hall to Samarkand. After this place, it will be our new nest. This place connects east, west, north and south, and it is the place of the Four Wars. Whoever controls Samarkand will win the war." Controlled the bridge between the entire Western Region and the East."

"We need to run this place well, and then whether we go east or west, it depends on Dashi's will."

Yexian is still Dashi, he is not a great Khan, if he wants to be called Khan, he must rush to Batu Sarai to inherit the Khan position of the Golden Horde Khanate.

So after repairing, we still have to go west.

"Leave all of these to Wang Zizheng." Yexian said very confidently: "I'm not good at managing politics."

But Wang Fu shook his head and said: "But what I want to do, I still need to report to Dashi, otherwise, wouldn't it be deceiving Dashi? This is not the duty of a minister."

"Dashi, how can an artifact be handed to someone else?"

Wang Fu wanted to conceal his identity as Yebushou, so he would not hide other things from Yexian, but this kind of frankness made Yexian trust Wang Fu extraordinarily.

He also nodded first, and Wang Fu reported that he didn't understand some things, so he simply let Wang Fu do it.

He also looked at Wang Fu's mask first and said, "Thank you, Mr. Wang."

Wang Fu is from the Central Plains, and he is not very comfortable with the bitter cold beyond the Great Wall and the environment of the Western Regions. Compared with the Central Plains, it is too miserable here.

Yexian suddenly laughed and said with a smile: "The great emperor has made countless wise decisions in his life. I admit that he is very powerful, but dismissing you is one of the mistakes in his life."

Wang Fu said indifferently: "There are many people like me in Daming."

He also waved his hand first and said: "No, no, I don't think there are many people like you in the Ming Dynasty. Not every scholar is like you. I once went to the capital to pay tribute, and I was still Yang Shiqi at that time."

"Yang Shiqi is not as good as Wang Zizheng. I am not staying on the grassland and know nothing about the Ming Dynasty. Wang Zizheng's ability is outstanding even in Daming. Don't underestimate yourself."

Yexian's mother was from Suzhou. Yexian's mother, Mrs. Minda, was a young man who accompanied her husband to guard the border, but was taken away by Yexian's father, Tuo Huan, and gave birth to Yexian, Poluo and Boyan Timur.

First of all, he is not ignorant of Daming, he dared to attack Daming, he naturally knew that Daming was the weakest time.

But it's a pity that he met Yu Qian, met His Majesty today, and never conquered the city of Beijing.

If the city of Beijing is conquered, he should be the emperor in Beijing at this time, not Dashi in Samarkand.

Wang Fu's ability is also very clear, even in Daming it is rare.

Wang Fu did not compare himself with Yang Shiqi. Yang Shiqi was a virtuous minister and good prime minister, while Wang Fu refused to accept him at night and was a civil servant dismissed by the Emperor of Ming Dynasty.

He briefly talked about his administration strategy in Samarkand.

The first is to establish the Advisory Council. As a senior official, he finally has his own Advisory Council. Because Li Xian did what he did in Nanya's imperial court, it worked, so Wang Fu followed suit.

Wang Fu, like Li Xian, served as a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion, while Boyan Timur served as the left governor, and two locals in Samarkand served as counselors. There were a total of four court officials and 25 counselors.

It is the same as Li Xian's regulations in Nanya.

Wang Fu tried to explain to Ye Ye first the necessity of fighting dendrobium, balance, seal, benevolence and justice, line system, method, confirmation of power, and measurement, but he also listened to a few words first. All day long, all over the country, I didn't know why I thought it was right, and immediately my head became big.

Ye first said very solemnly: "You can decide for yourself! I believe in you, Mr. Wang! You are our close comrade-in-arms!"

"Ah? This..." Wang Fu wanted to explain clearly, or explain how to govern, but Ye Xian was not very interested.

The internal affairs management of the Oirats cannot be said to be non-existent, it can only be said to be useless.

First of all, they are not very interested in this aspect. Before Wang Fu came to Helin, the internal affairs of the Wala people were more like herding.

Wang Fu wanted to explain it clearly, but he didn't want to hear it very much. The logic inside it was very complicated, and he didn't want to learn it. Anyway, Wang Fu was desperate, so he could only follow him to the end.

"If you have the time, why don't you talk to me about the situation in the Western Regions." Yexian said very confirmingly.

Wang Fu glanced at Boyan Timur, and said very helplessly: "The Counseling Council has a serious matter, so I ask Boyan Zhiyuan to take more trouble."

You can let go first, isn't there still Boyan Timur?

At least they were brothers, and the Advisory Council was still in the hands of Ye Xian to some extent.

"As for the situation in the Western Regions." Wang Fu took out a map and said, "To understand the current situation in the Western Regions, we should roughly divide it into three parts."

"Taixi, Jixi and Xuxi."

 Thanks to "Red and White Master Ball" and "Suiye Fei" for their 500-point reward, and "lkeer77" for their 200-point reward. Thank you for your support.
