my days with tyrants

Chapter 335 An Ambitious Man

"Ha, your fourth brother is impatient. He has been thinking about the Golden Horde since he arrived in the Western Regions. He is indeed an ambitious man."

Ambassador Yang, who received a secret report a month later, said.

"It wasn't you who pushed him. You drove him to the Western Regions. You still refused to let him go, and you still arranged for an inner ghost under him."

The little princess lay in his arms and said.

At this time, the two were enjoying the flowers in the greenhouse in winter leisurely. The ruling princess still paid great attention to enjoyment, so there was not only a huge glass greenhouse on Wutai Mountain, but also a zoo, and even an artificial lake was dug under the mountain.

In fact, the current ministers who have their own ulterior motives have always suspected that the two of them do not want to make progress, and they are patronizing pleasure-seeking.

As for this greenhouse, in fact, most of them are American crops brought back by Zheng He.

So off-season tomatoes and the like can already be eaten, but the taste is hugely different from modern ones, and of course the appearance is also hugely different.

But it's good as an ornamental plant.

Most of these crops need to go through a complicated and lengthy process of artificial cultivation. As for those that are not needed, they have already started to be planted. The first batch of sweet potatoes this year has already been harvested in the experimental field. Except for a small amount of rewards, or for some people to try their early adopters, the others are sent to the mountain guards in various places to be given to those military households for planting, especially in Huining. It is estimated that within a few years, the Japanese slaves in Huining will be able to eat sweet potatoes.

Including potatoes are there too.

Although it is temporarily impossible for the Japanese to dig potatoes in Siberia, it is still possible in Huining.

Corn cannot be promoted directly. Fortunately, Yang Feng has the breeding information constantly provided by Sister Liu, so it is enough to breed first in the nearby experimental field.

All it takes is time.

At this moment, Ambassador Yang, who is in power, smiled slightly.

Of course he has an inner ghost with Zhu Di...

In fact, he is not considered an inner ghost, the latter is the vassal king of the Ming Dynasty, and naturally there are officials in the palace appointed by the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

Six students who graduated from Mount Wutai followed him westward as officials of the royal family.

And his feudal city is in Yining, and he named it Beiping...

This will give him a little taste of home.

In fact, there are not only the officials of the royal family, but also the local officials sent by the imperial court.

The vassal city of the vassal king is of course also the territory of the Ming Dynasty. Since it is the territory of the Ming Dynasty, there must be magistrates, but it is quite special, sandwiched between the four capitals of the Western Regions, so Ili Mansion was established separately, and then Ili Mansion is subordinate to Beiping Prefecture.

Then he saw which place was pleasing to the eye and went to build a mansion by himself.

In this way, he can also be promoted to the magistrate.

Of course, it will take a few years, because the Yili government is in charge of the subjects of the Ming Dynasty, that is, the non-guard immigrants from the mainland in the past.

The title is not for the people.

King Yan did get the entire Ili River Valley, which actually included the Tekes River Basin, all the way to Lake Issyk-Kul, and then added the Jinghe area on the west bank of Lake Aibi to the north.

But this is his fief, and the subjects of the fief are the subjects of Daming.

He has no control over it.

He has the authority to manage only the military households of his own five guards.

As for the Yili Mansion, which does not belong to the Sidusi, it belongs to the remote Shaanxi Chief Commissioner, which is equivalent to adding an enclave to Shaanxi. After all, since ancient times, Guanzhong has been developing the Western Regions.

In other words, Shaanxi in Ming Dynasty is big enough.

Theoretically, Gansu belongs to Shaanxi as well, and now the entire Western Regions belong to Shaanxi, just like the whole of Liaodong, Huining and even Fusang belong to Shandong, while Annan belongs to Guangxi, Sanxuan and Liuwei belong to Yunnan, Duogan and Wusi Zangdusi belong to Sichuan, Hanhai and Yanran belong to Shanxi.All the civil registrations in these places, except for some of the civil registrations of the guards, are under the jurisdiction of these chief envoys. These commanders and envoys belong to the military, but it is not forbidden to pass the civil registration.However, the civil registration is not under the management of the commanders and envoys, but under the management of the proclaimed political envoys. Before these places were established separately, they were under the management of the distant Chengxuan political envoys.

In this way, it will be convenient for these provinces to expand outward.

Just like people in Shandong now like to go to places like Liaodong and Fusang.

This system is very good, and Yang Feng is not going to change it. This will not only make it easier for these obviously poorer provinces to obtain outside benefits, but also facilitate other provinces to immigrate to these provinces.

The household registration management in Ming Dynasty is very strict. If a Zhili businessman wants to do business in Fusang, he must immigrate to Shandong first, because after arriving in Fusang, Shandong will collect taxes from him.

The nationality of that place belongs to Shandong.

The same tax was also collected in Shandong Province to be announced by the Political Envoy Division.

It doesn't matter whether you are registered in Shandong or moved to Shandong, but your household registration must be in Shandong during your business in Fusang.

Therefore, the usual situation is that Zhili merchants do business in Fusang, pay taxes to Shandong, and then bring the money back to their hometown. In the process, Shandong acts as a middleman and obtains taxes.

It is equivalent to a financial transfer.

It's just not from the court.

As for all these, the local companies are also profitable, they control the supply of goods.

As for Zhu Di’s eagerness to march to the Golden Horde, the reason is actually very simple. He brought so many people. These people did not follow him because they were loyal to him to the death, and they believed that if they followed him to the Western Regions, they would immediately have herds of livestock, slaves, and beauties...

Otherwise, who would abandon the established homeland and follow him to such a foreign land?
Zhu Di could immediately satisfy the herd of livestock. He gathered those nomadic chiefs, in fact, to trade with the latter, and exchanged various commodities including grain that he brought to the Western Regions for cattle and sheep.

And these nomadic tribes are also grateful to him.

After all, they also need food.

In the cold winter, food is more important to them than livestock, and the sugar, tea, medicinal materials, etc. brought by Zhu Di made them even more crazy.

but……

Where are the slaves?
Where is the woman?
Where are the gold, silver and jewels?
In the Golden Horde.

This is Zhu Di's only choice at present.

Because he can't start a war with Timur for the time being, in fact, he is now on friendly terms with Timur, and he may even marry Timur's granddaughter as concubine. It is definitely impossible for the princess, and there is no side concubine, but King Yan's palace can still accommodate a few more.

Although Timur was extremely annoyed by his going to the Western Regions, there was nothing he could do about it. Timur's strength was indeed enough to destroy Zhu Di.

At least he believed it.

But the problem is that it will make him face Daming's wrath.

Behind Zhu Di is a huge empire that is so powerful that it suffocates him.

He had already seen it last time.

And last time, it was still only a small part of Daming's power. After all, during this period of time, his envoys paid tribute to Daming very frequently. Even during the Battle of Kaifeng, his envoys were still stranded in Kaifeng and saw the real war of Daming.

The most terrifying thing is that hundreds of thousands of troops participated in the battle in Kaifeng alone, which suffocated him.

And there were two such battlefields in Daming at the time, and there was another army of the same size that was said to have not participated in Annan.

And at that time, Daming was still conquering Luchuan in Yunnan.

This means that this kind of army is truly a million-level army!

How scary!

So now Timur really dare not provoke Daming, and he can only watch Zhu Di return to the Western Regions, and Zhu Di is also unable to attack him now. In this case, the two sides must show friendship, and Timur also needs to import a lot of firearms from Zhu Di, and then prepare for the decisive battle with Bayezid. Originally, he won the decisive battle two years later in history.

But now he can't guarantee it. After all, Bayezid is also invincible in the Balkans. In this case, in order to avoid being attacked, it is very cost-effective to bring out a granddaughter to deepen his relationship with Zhu Di.

And the only direction Zhu Di left to expand was the Golden Horde Khanate.

However, there must be a claim for this kind of thing, and supporting Yue, that is, others to regain their throne of the Golden Horde, is the best claim.

The month is the era of Bee Khan, and it can be regarded as the prosperous age of the Golden Horde.

Although the price is Turkification.

And after the death of Yue Jibie Khan, the Golden Horde changed 24 khans in [-] years, turning a powerful empire into the ghost it is now. Anyone can step on it, and even the capital was broken by Timur.It's a shame, and after Yuejibehan's death, he was squeezed out of the Eastern European plain step by step, and Yuejiren, or Uzbeks, who came to the east to wander, of course dreamed of returning to their prosperous age.

Yuejibie is Uzbekistan.

These are the people of the Golden Horde who fled to the east during the melee in the Golden Horde.

As for the origin of the ethnic group, it has been messed up. There is no need to care about the origin, Mongolian and Turkic are all mixed up.

Originally in history, this group was led by Abu Haier of the Saiban family to establish the Uzbek Khanate. The capital was in Tyumen, nomadic in Siberia and the northern part of modern Kazakhstan. Later, it went south to the river and even controlled the Fergana Basin. However, it was eventually defeated, and some of them established the Kazakh Khanate due to internal conflicts.

Now Zhu Di can just use them to play the banner of leading them back to the Chincha Grassland, regaining the throne of the Golden Horde, and restoring the prosperity of the Golden Horde.

They will be happy.

They lived a miserable life in a ghostly place like Siberia, otherwise there would not be a small tribe who ignored the differences in systems and beliefs between the two parties and ran to join Guilichi.

The latter is a Buddhist.

To put it bluntly, life in Siberia is too hard. Originally, they might have gone south in history, but now they are isolated in the north by Ming Dynasty. They went south to the Chu River and Talas. In history, they did migrate to this area very quickly.But now it is the site of the commander of the Kunling of the Ming Dynasty. Not only are there nomads in Oirat, but also Talas City where the Ming garrison is located.

But even so, it also prevented Yue Ji from going south.

They can only nomadic in Siberia and along the Irtysh River, and endure the severe cold of minus [-] to [-] degrees in winter.

In this case, of course they miss the Great Plains of Eastern Europe, the sunshine along the Black Sea, and the rich pastures on the Volga River.

It's just that they can't.

Now there seems to be a chaotic war there, Timur, Tutuo Lost, Lithuanians, Rus, and a bunch of warlords from the Golden Horde system are fighting on the Eastern European grasslands. They have no choice but to hide in the east because they are unable to fight against these forces on this chaotic grassland. Now the powerful Ming is willing to help them fight back and return to the prosperous age they miss. Of course they are willing.

Little things.

Not worth mentioning.

Anyway, the Golden Horde Khanate also paid tribute to the Yuan Dynasty in the past, and Yue Jibiehan's uncle Tuotuohan was still King Suning of the Yuan Dynasty!

And even if the Golden Horde Khan's throne cannot be regained, there will be a wave of looting.

Well, this is the most important thing.

On the prairie, they just rob each other.

As long as Zhu Di can solve the cooperation of this group, then all that remains is to unite and march westward, follow the route of Batu to attack the Qincha grassland, Timur can intervene, Lithuanians can intervene, why can't Ming Dynasty intervene in the civil war of the Golden Horde.Then during the westward expedition, those guards who followed Zhu Di would get what they wanted. They would bring back countless Eastern European and Caucasian women, they would bring back a large number of white slaves, and they would also plunder countless livestock and wealth.

Eastern Europe still uses gold coins for transactions.

Like the army led by Yang Feng last time, they swept across Eastern Europe like a natural disaster.

Of course, one time is definitely not enough, after all, the distance is a bit far, even if it is an all-cavalry march, it will take half a year to go there, but you can first integrate the Yue and other people in this area, an expedition against those tribes who refuse to follow, especially in Siberia, where a large number of nomadic tribes are scattered, and in theory this area already belongs to the commander of Kunling. That is, someone else, the will to kill back to Eastern Europe and regain the Golden Horde.

Submissive follow.

Those who do not surrender will destroy their families and then carve up their women and livestock.

perfect.

It is estimated that one year is enough for Zhu Di to complete the integration of the entire area.

It also advanced to the coast of the Caspian Sea, and the rest was to continue westward. Anyway, he didn't have to worry about the safety of the rear.

Behind him are the commanders and envoys of the four capitals of the Ming Dynasty!
