Haisheng Mingdi

Chapter 826 Palace Change
Amulun, governor of Turpan, looked at the head of Apak brought back by his son Abdullah, his eyes were red and full of resentment.

The respect he once had for the holy descendants was now turned into anger after being betrayed.

"Is everything clean?"

"Father, don't worry, no one escaped, clean and tidy, no one knows that this guy has been decapitated by me!"

Amulon nodded.

As of now, there is no way out.

To retreat is to be on a cliff, to be crushed to pieces.

night.

Amulun invites big and small Burke from Turpan and Ahun from the Baishan faction to the Governor's Mansion for a night banquet to discuss plans to defend the city against the Ming Dynasty.

After receiving the governor's invitation to a banquet, they have already colluded with each other. The plan of the Baishan faction, which is planning to riot and rebel, is to wait for Apak and Zhuo to come back in secret. Now that Apak and Zhuo have not returned, everyone is waiting patiently. , there is no doubt about Amulun's invitation.

In the governor's mansion, cattle and sheep were slaughtered, and a sumptuous banquet was arranged, and Amulun greeted him in front of the governor's mansion in person.

Abdullah took people to reward the white hat return soldiers in the city.

The night was dark and windy, and the weather was cold, but everyone was very happy to have beef and sheep barbecue.

midnight.

After eating and drinking enough, many people fell asleep.

Abdullah went into action with the Giligis guard.

A massacre begins in the dark night.

In the Governor's Mansion, Amulun also quietly exited the hall. Outside the door, the captain of the guard had been waiting for a long time. Amulun gestured to him, and swiped his right palm across his neck.

The captain of the guard nodded.

The signal for action was sent out, and the Gilligis guards who had secretly surrounded the Governor's Mansion moved immediately.

The door was knocked open.

With the cold wind pouring down, Babai, the half-drunk Governor of Hami, raised his head in dissatisfaction, and when he saw a group of Kyrgyz people coming in, he immediately cursed, "Bastard, what are you doing?"

The Captain of the Gilligis Guards came straight up to him, in full armor, with a cohort of soldiers behind him.

Babai thought he was looking for his elder brother Amulun, "The governor just left."

The captain of the guard smiled at Babai, "I'm here to find you."

After speaking, he suddenly drew his sword, and then stabbed Babai's chest with the sword. The half-drunk Babai didn't even have time to react, and felt severe pain.

"You... rebellion, damn it... Jiriji... Sinren..."

Shocked.

The rest of the guests in the banquet hall screamed in panic, and the Gilligis started fucking and cutting people.

The guests who came to the banquet had neither armor nor weapons, only small knives for eating meat, and they were half drunk. How could they be the opponents of these tough Giligis.

After a while, they were all killed.

The entire city of Turpan was screaming in chaos.

Amulun changed into a suit of armor and walked back to the banquet hall. He came to the brother who still had a few breaths left.

"why?"

A Mulun looked at this brother, but just said indifferently, "I already knew about the collusion between you and Apak, do you think Apak is trustworthy? Do you really think that he wants to embrace you as Turpan Khan after the riot, or even Ye Ye?" Erqiang Khan, wrong, Apak has long been in collusion with the Junggars. He also said the same to Prince Yaolebas in Kashgar, saying that he would embrace him as a Khan and make him betray his father. Tell you, let you betray me, but in fact, you have been deceived by him, he has secretly colluded with the Junggar people, [-] Junggar cavalry are on the way, he sold all of us, sold a A good price, in exchange for myself being the governor of Kashgar and other four cities, and his brother and son being the governor of Turpan, Hami and other cities."

Ba Bai's mouth was bleeding, but he still refused to believe it.

"impossible!"

"I'll send you to Yidayetura, and you'll just question him face to face." After speaking, Amulun swung his sword and chopped off his brother's head.

At this time, Amulun beheaded his brother. The reason is very simple. Babai, the governor of Hami, has nothing now. His son Touluntai went to Gansu to aid Mi Layin and other troops before he was defeated and killed. His Hami was captured again. He conspired with Apak, believed Apak's words, planned to riot and overthrow Amulun, and then became a Khan himself.

Amulun didn't like this brother very much. Before, the two advocated being friendly to Ming, but Babai always advocated the Eastern Expedition to Ming.

Now that Amulun has teamed up with Daming, how can he stay in Baba to worship him if he surrenders to Daming.

In the dark night.

The city of Turpan is on fire, and the Abdullah brothers and others are leading the Kyrgyz people to clean the city.

"Kill all the damn Baishan faction!"

The betrayed Amulun was outraged, and the cleansing of the Baishan faction was not only to vent his anger, but also to stabilize the rule, and even to vote for the Ming emperor.

Amulun was not soft on the armed forces recruited by the Baishan faction.

Now that you have done it, there is no room for it.

Fortunately, the Gilikis in his hands are a reliable and capable army. As long as the rewards are in place, these people are the best fighters.

A night of chaos.

At dawn, the whole of Turpan was full of blood.

The purge is still going on, but Amulun has already sent to Hami to report the victory to the Son of Heaven, and also sent Yidayetula and Babai and other heads.

He also brought a large amount of gold, silver and jade, and drove a large number of cattle and sheep to go there, hoping to purchase another batch of firearms for the Junggar people. He also asked the Ming emperor to send Ming army reinforcements to Turpan.

In the city of Hami.

Zhu Yihai was celebrating the birth of the emperor's eldest grandson with Wen Anzhi and others, but he just laughed when he received the news that Jin Yiwei was one step ahead.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty!"

Zhu Yihai was very happy that Amulun joined Daming at this time, which would make the water more muddy.

"The decree is that Amulun be conferred the title of Turpan Khan and his eldest son Abdullah the governor of Urumqi."

"Turpan was renamed Xizhou Prefecture, and Urumqi was renamed Tingzhou."

Hami was renamed Yizhou, Turpan was renamed Xizhou, and Wucheng was renamed Tingzhou. These were all under the Beiting Protectorate in the Tang Dynasty. Zhu Yihai now directly governs Yiwu, and Xi and Tingzhou were first given to Turpan Khan.

But even if Amulun, the Turpan Khan, was canonized by the emperor, if he wanted to stabilize his position, he still had to face the attack of [-] cavalry from Junggar.

"As much money and livestock as Amulun can get, then sell him as many guns and arrows, and let him fight with Junggar."

Zhu Yihai sold arms, but did not send troops.

He didn't even send anyone to negotiate reconciliation with the Junggars, he hoped that they would lose both.

Batur Khan probably couldn't accept the fat in his mouth, and now Zhu Yihai took it away from his mouth. As long as Zhu Yihai didn't directly send troops into the two cities of Xi and Ting, the Junggars would definitely still fight.

Let them call.

According to the agreement, the two cities were originally assigned to Junggar, but if Amulun directly surrendered to Daming, then it would be difficult to say, and if Junggar still cannot be defeated, then it would be even more difficult to say.

"The Junggar people are probably jumping their feet in anger!" Wen Anzhi smiled, and followed the emperor on a west tour for more than a year, and now that spring is coming, the emperor didn't even mention returning to Beijing at all, so Wen Anzhi was not in a hurry.

The scenery in the Western Regions is also good, and there are beef and mutton to eat every day, but there is a lack of vegetables, so I can only drink tea and dip some wild leek flower sauce, pickled cucumbers and so on.

Wen Anzhi also knew very well why the emperor had to stay in the Western Regions, not because he wanted to have fun, but because this battle was crucial to Ming Dynasty.

Once Daming abandoned the west of Jiayu Pass, more than a hundred years passed in a blink of an eye.

This time, if the emperor's strategy is successful, then Ming will truly return to the Western Regions, destroying Yarkand first and then Junggar, and even splitting and weakening Bukhara and Kazakhs, then by then, Ming will become the Western Regions The strongest side.

It will be able to gain a stable foothold in the Western Regions. In the future, the western borders of the Ming Dynasty will be in the distant Tianshan Mountains, or even in the middle of the river, or the Yibohai, and restore to the old borders of the Western Regions of the Han and Tang Dynasties.

What will follow will be the re-opening of the Silk Road in the Western Regions, and even directly suppress Tsarist Russia to Eastern Europe.

This battle is well fought, and the pattern of Western Xinjiang in the next 300 years of the Ming Dynasty will be determined.

Of course, if Zhu Yihai did this himself, it would be better than leaving it to the next emperor. If Zhu Yihai didn't do this, the future emperor might not be able to do it.

"The prince sent a letter saying that the newly pro-government Tartar Shunzhi wants to invade the south and is mobilizing Horqin and other ministries. The prince wants to go to Chifeng to sit in town, and even Shenyang. What does Mr. Wen think of this?"

Wen Anzhi also knew that the emperor ordered Chen Qianfu, Huang Zongxi and other four ministers and daughters to enter the East Palace, and knew that the emperor attached great importance to the crown prince's trust.

But as far as this matter is concerned, he felt that the prince was a little anxious.

Eager to make military achievements.

The prince is young and very smart, but he really lacks some military merits. He can understand the prince's eagerness to make military merits.

But as the chief assistant, he still thinks that the emperor is now sitting in the Western Regions, and the prince should stay in Beijing with peace of mind.

"Even if the Tartars will invade the south this year, it is estimated that there will not be much movement. It is more likely that they will invade the Liao Dynasty. The court only needs to follow the previously set strategy and actively defend. With the current situation of the Tartars, we We are not in a hurry to go to the Northern Expedition, they are more anxious than us, and the Tartars will not be able to delay it. The longer it is delayed, the Horqin and other tribes will become more alienated, and they themselves cannot afford to support the current people.

And if they invade the south, they are not Nurhachi and Huang Jitai back then, and we are no longer the situation in Chongzhen of the apocalypse. "

The imperial court's strategy for Jianlu was very simple. First, it tightened the fences of the Liao and Liao, and then appeases Mongolia, cut its wings, and even used the Mongols in the south and north of the desert, as well as the wild Jurchens to consume and force the Jianlu.

Art of poverty.

They drove the Mongol Jurchens, these eagles and dogs, to bite the besieged and forced prisoners, not allowing them to live in peace, and forcing them to go south to invade the frontier, while the Ming Dynasty formed counterattack forces with bastions and imperial camps in the Liangliao to wait for work.

Jianlu couldn't last a few years with this style of play.

At that time, when they have completely collapsed, he will come to Liting to sweep the acupuncture points and seal their throats with a sword, and they will perish completely.

"Well, then let the prince stay in Beijing and guard the country with peace of mind, and the defeated bandits who are lingering in the Jianlu area don't need him to go out."

"Tell the prince and the remaining imperial court to find a way to move more immigrants from the Western Regions. Kansai Qiwei and Yizhou are short of people. Soon, Xizhou and Tingzhou will become empty cities, and they will need a lot of new people. migrant."

Wen Anzhi smiled and said, "Back then, Taizu moved 50 households to Gansu. This time, I'm afraid we have to prepare a million households to move to the Western Regions, so that we can truly fully control the Western Regions."

"Then move, you will be given the land when you come, one family will be given [-] acres of arable land, ten years of land tax and Dingyin will be exempted, and the imperial court will be responsible for all expenses on the road, and they will be given another Anjiayin. I believe that there will always be someone who is willing." here."

Daming has a population of more than 1 million, and the poor are always the vast majority. Most people have no land, or only a small amount of land, and even some are in remote and backward mountains. As long as the immigration conditions are good enough, those people can still be attracted to go out .

Think about it, Fujian people are not afraid of wind and waves, and going to Nanyang to make a living, isn't it more risky than going to the Western Regions?

It's all for survival, as long as the court can provide enough protection, plus high enough benefits, especially if they can get enough land, Zhu Yihai believes that there are still many people who are willing.

The ones who really opposed it were actually the local powerful nobles and landlords, but Zhu Yihai didn't pay attention to their opinions.
