Chapter 722: Gushi Khan declares himself a minister and seeks peace, and Emperor Zhaowu governs the country with Zhubi

Bang bang bang...

Boom boom!

Not long after Pampanga and Japanese ronin broke into the Balian settlement area, gunshots and cannon fire were heard one after another.

Within a moment, some of the Pampanga people were beaten and forced to retreat. Oscar and other Western officers and soldiers could not help but be surprised when they saw this.

"Damn, these Ming dynasty pigs not only have guns, but also artillery." Oscar's face turned gloomy, "I don't know how they were smuggled in. Those idiots at the customs should be hanged!"

The second lieutenant officer on the side asked: "Colonel, do we want to send soldiers in to support?"

"Support his mother!" Oscar scolded, "Our army in Manila only has a thousand men, and we have to defend the city and the port separately. We only have five hundred men to attack here. Can we use them to waste?

Go and urge Pampanga and Japanese Ronin to work harder and not to evacuate just after a few people die, otherwise we will ask others to help!"

Pampanga and Japanese ronin were not the only ones on Luzon who wanted to be dogs for the Spaniards.

Of course, it’s not like Zhu Aelao didn’t give any “benefits”.

The last words were equivalent to a decree. Liu Shuying, who was waiting in the palace, hurriedly took note of it and prepared to send someone to the Hanlin Academy to draft the decree later.

So, after thinking for a moment, Zhu Yuluo approved the memorial with a red pen and stamped it with a seal.

Zhu Yusao nodded slightly and said: "Although Heshuote was an enemy of our Ming Dynasty before, since he came to express his gratitude as a vassal, it is not appropriate for the envoy to cause trouble in our territory.

What Zhu Yusuo said was the proper policy in diplomacy, and Jiang Dejing had no objection.

Speaking of which, the mission of the Khoshot Khanate arrived in Nanjing in early May.

As for the 500 Spanish soldiers under his command, he would not use them until the critical moment.

Even though the Ming Dynasty now has many advanced means at its disposal, it will take several years to digest such a large territory.

This will inevitably intensify the conflict between Gushi Khan's family and Dalai, Diba and Tibetan nobles.

In the fourth year of Zhaowu, the Ming Dynasty captured Qinghai, and in the north it captured the entire Monan Mongolia and part of the Oara and Shuote tribes.

Because the Ming Dynasty was not in a hurry and followed the normal procedures for dealing with neighboring countries, it took more than a month for the Kshote Khanate to declare itself a vassal and seek peace.

But in the end, Zhu Yuluo demanded that Da Lai of the Kagyu sect must come to the capital of the Ming Dynasty to receive canonization when he reaches adulthood before he can officially become a religious leader in Tibet.

As a last resort, Oscar could only order to withdraw his troops and prepare to summon more Tufan and Ronin tomorrow, so that with the cooperation of dozens of cannons around them, they could fight against the Mingyong of the Eighth Alliance.

After all, Ningsui Province is far away from Nanjing, and it is not as easy to get to Yunzhong Province by ship or train. Therefore, Zhu Yuyao expected that Li Xiangzhong's appointment memorial did not come.

Your group is not willing to sell your life, but there are groups that are willing to sell it.

The reason why Zhu Yuluo wanted to capture Qinghai before was that he hoped to use Qinghai to first train an army that could fight on the snowy plateau, and to train a team of officials to govern the Tibetan, Mongolian and other western ethnic minorities.

Therefore, when she learned that the envoy from the Kushote Khanate was here to profess her vassalship and seek peace, Zhu Yura agreed and first nominally returned the Kushote Khanate to the rule of the Ming Dynasty.

In addition, Zhu Yuluo in turn asked the Kashote Khanate to withdraw from the Kham area it had previously invaded. Otherwise, the Ming Dynasty would send troops to take it back, or even invade Lhasa and destroy the Khanate.

These days, human life is really worthless.

The garrison troops from all provinces along the way sent troops to escort him, and the post station received him according to the rules until he was sent to the Sichuan-Tibet border and handed over to the Kho Shuote army."

Li Yongmao's memorial was mainly about reporting, so after reading it, Zhu Yucao felt that there was nothing wrong with it, so she approved it as "read".

In addition, the biggest enemy of the Central Dynasty's march into Tibet has never been the local army, but the special environment and climate of the snowy plateau.

As for the possibility that civil strife would not break out in Tibet after Gushi Khan's death, Zhu Aona never considered it.

This move is equivalent to learning from the later Qing Dynasty, which controlled the canonization power of Dalai in order to strengthen the court's rule over Tibet.

Originally, the Mongolian forces in the Qinghai-Tibet region were mainly in Qinghai, and several of Gushi Khan's sons also worked as Taijis in Qinghai, managing pastures and raising troops.

Forbidden City.

The technical difficulty of railway construction is much higher than that of cement roads. Now that the Ming Dynasty has cultivated more than a dozen railway construction groups, it is time to delegate some of the power of railway construction to local governments.

First of all, the Ming Dynasty recognized the religious and political leadership status of the fifth Dalai and Gushi Khan in Tibet.

Under such circumstances, it is unknown whether Gushi Khan, who was defeated by the Ming Dynasty, can stabilize his internal affairs.

Considering that after the expansion of the territory, it would be difficult to find high-ranking officials in the border areas, Zhu Yusao transferred Li Yongmao to the governor of Yunzhong, and appointed Zhan Zhaoheng, the famous imperial envoy from the Chongzhen period, as the deputy director of the Judicial Council.

Immediately, under the supervision of the Spanish, the Pampanga people who had withdrawn rushed in again.

Now that Qinghai has been taken over by the Ming Dynasty, if the Qinghai Mongolian nobles who originally followed Gushi Khan were unwilling to accept the rule of the Ming Dynasty, they would inevitably enter Tibet, which would cause conflicts of interest with the local Tibetan nobles.

Secondly, the fifth Dalai and Gushi Khan will be formally canonized and given gold seals. They will also be given the titles of National Master and Dharma King just as the Ming Dynasty treated Tibetan rulers in the past.

Finally, according to historical information from later generations, Gushi Khan would die as early as 1654, that is, five years later.

After Zhu Yuyao ascended the throne, he was appointed deputy director of the Legal Affairs Council, responsible for assisting Wang Yingxiong in establishing the Legal Affairs Council and handling various affairs.

The recommendation given by the cabinet is that it is approved, but the provincial government must report to the court to build the railway, and it can only be started after obtaining permission.

She, Emperor Zhaowu of the Ming Dynasty, believed that there would be civil strife in Tibet after the death of Gushi Khan, so this would definitely happen!

However, by the time the sun set in the afternoon, the Pampanga people had suffered four to five hundred casualties, and the Japanese Ronin had also suffered one or two hundred casualties, but they were still driven out bravely by the Ming people in the Eight Alliance settlements.

But Zhu Yuyao refused without hesitation Gushi Khan's request that the Ming Dynasty could return the Qinghai area.

···

After Jiang Dejing withdrew, Zhu Yuluo continued to review the memorial.

Even after the death of Gushi Khan, his eldest son Dayan Eqil rushed from Qinghai to Lhasa three years later to succeed him. During his tenure, his power was weakened by the fifth Dalai.

After passing the message, Jiang Dejing entered the Wuying Hall, bowed to Zhu Aa and said: "Your Majesty, the envoy of the Kashote Khanate has been sent away from the capital (Nanjing)."

Even if he could stabilize himself internally, he would probably die earlier than in later generations if he worked hard.

When Li Yongmao was in Chongzhen, he was promoted step by step from a local magistrate to a central official. He had a lot of experience in local governance, as well as work experience in military management, logistics and other aspects.

Several sons of Gushi Khan who had originally been arranged to live in Qinghai and several grandsons in Kham had no choice but to return to Tibet.

With these prerequisites, after a few years, when Gushi Khan died and civil strife broke out in Tibet, the Ming Dynasty could use its well-trained army and officials to enter Tibet to quell the rebellion and establish direct rule.

After approving it, she deliberately flipped through the subsequent memorials to see if there was an appointment memorial for Ningsui Governor Li Xiangzhong, but she did not see it.

Even if this time and space changes, as a sixty-eight-year-old Mongolian still living on the snowy plateau, it is difficult for him to live longer.

Now that the operation of the Legal Affairs Council has been on track, Wang Yingxiong only needs to be a clay Bodhisattva as the head of the court, and ordinary officials can also be promoted to deputy court positions.

In other words, even the Pampanga people and Japanese ronin are divided into different groups.

Although Zhu Yuluo intended to bring Tibet under the direct rule of the Ming Dynasty, she knew that the matter could not be rushed.

The following one is a procedural memorial submitted by Yunzhong Governor Li Yongmao after he took office. It mainly reports on his preliminary understanding of the situation in Yunzhong Province and his preliminary ideas for subsequent governance.

As early as the second year of Zhaowu, Zhu Yuluo delegated the power to build cement roads to local governments. Only the cement factories in various places were still in the hands of the imperial court and were regarded as confidential factories with local garrisons responsible for security.

I saw Wu Zhiping, the governor of Zhejiang, requested that the Zhejiang local government raise funds, and the imperial court sent a railway construction group to build the railways Zhejiang needed.

···

Nanjing.

Concerned about the newly established border province, Zhu Yurao said to Liu Shuying on the side: "Tell the cabinet that Governor Ningsui's appointment memorial will be given priority when it is sent."

"Yes." Liu Shuying agreed and immediately arranged for someone to send a message to the cabinet.

This is when Zheng Sen came from the back hall with a telegram, and said a little hastily: "Your Majesty, the governor of the South China Sea is sending an urgent message. There are changes in Manila!"

First update.
