When Tu Hai and Zhang Ying met Kangxi Khan with the "Legend of Shang", it was already the spring of the twenty-sixth year of Kangxi's reign. And the place where they met Kangxi Khan was the Golden Arch Gate in Beijing!

Of course, this Beijing city and the Ming Dynasty Beijing Shuntian Prefecture at the foot of Yanshan Mountain are not the same Beijing city. The Beijing city where Kangxi Khan is now located is located in the hinterland of Central Asia, and its original name was Samarkand. Kangxi Khan held the Kuritai Festival last winter

At the conference, it was announced that the name of Samarkand would be changed to Beijing Kaitianfu, and it would be positioned as the first capital of the Great Mongolia!

At the same time, he also announced that Lahore would be renamed Nanjing Pingtianfu, positioning it as the capital of the Indian Empire under the Great Mongolia.

In addition, Kangxi Khan also announced the construction of a Qitian Palace in Tashkent as the capital of the Western Qing Kingdom.

The new Great Mongolia that Kangxi Khan conquered was different from the original Qing Dynasty. When the latter was handed over to him, it was a highly centralized central dynasty, while the new Great Mongolia that he conquered was a

A very loose alliance of countries, even looser than the loose Holy Roman Empire in Europe. After all, the HRE didn't have that big a territory, and the main ethnic group was the Germans.

The great Mongolian country of Kangxi Khan not only had an extremely vast territory, but also did not have a dominant ethnic group. It still followed the path of being a minority. Although it established the "Fifty-Eight and Forty Banners", this "Fifty-eight and Forty Banners"

The "Flags" are also torn apart internally. That is to say, the Qing Eight Banners, the Mongolian Eight Banners, and the Confucian Eight Banners in the "Five Eight Banners" can barely stick together.

In order to avoid the situation of "dividing the country after Kangxi's death" for the country he had worked so hard to conquer, after conquering northwest India, Kangxi Khan took the initiative to stop the pace of expansion and began to "subtract" instead.

.....That is to say, give up some peripheral territories, or relax control on some territories in order to concentrate on firmly controlling some core territories.

The area that Kangxi Khan positioned as the core of the Great Mongolia was the area from Pingtianfu in Nanjing to Kaitianfu in Beijing and then to Qitianfu in Shangjing. It was almost a crescent-shaped area with a length of three thousand miles.

If we expand it further, it would be Zhili centered on Kaitianfu in Beijing, plus Shangjingfu, Suiyefu, Gudifu in the Western Qing Dynasty, and Southern Zhili in the Mughal Kingdom (the original Punjab region).

Gandhara Province, Plateau Province, Sindu Province and other places.

As for Junggar, Khoshote, Bukhara, Khiva, the Golden Horde, etc., they are all the "periphery" of the Great Mongolia and must revolve around the three cores of Zhili, the Western Qing Dynasty, and the Indian Empire.

Together with Kaitianfu in Beijing, Pingtianfu in Nanjing and Qitianfu in Shangjing, they are also known as the three capitals of Great Mongolia. They are the ruling center of the Great Mongolia and are the core of the core!

Among them, Kaitianfu in Beijing, formerly known as Samarkand, is located in the middle of the three capitals of Mongolia. More than two thousand miles to the southwest is Pingtianfu in Nanjing, and more than five hundred miles to the north is Qitianfu in Shangjing. So Beijing

Kaitianfu has naturally become the first capital of the entire Mongolia!

Since it is the first capital, it is natural to carry out some "big relocation" and "small infrastructure construction". Therefore, after the Kulitai Conference last year, Kangxi Khan stayed in Qitianfu, Beijing, busy with "relocation" and "infrastructure construction"

"Things.

The so-called "relocation" is to move about half of the residents in the Zerafshan Valley area where Beijing's Qitianfu City (Samarkand) is located, including all the middle and upper classes, to the Delhi area in India in the name of going south to India to become lords.

master.

Only by freeing up space can Kangxi Khan's confidants take over!

While these people were going south one after another to become lords, Kangxi Khan also ordered the relocation of some Mongolian Eight Banners, Qing Eight Banners, and Confucian Eight Banners to open Tianfu in Beijing... It was still a matter of occupying houses, enclosing land, and of course shaving their heads.

Heyifu - Although it is impossible for Kangxi Khan to do this in the entire Mongolian "Allied States", it is still possible to do it in Kaitianfu in Beijing and Qitianfu in Shangjing first, and then promote it to Pingtianfu in Nanjing when the time is right.

Perhaps in the future in Mongolia, shaving and changing clothes will become the symbols of nobility!

While the "big relocation" is going on, "small infrastructure" must of course keep up. Big infrastructure is impossible. Although Kangxi Khan, who conquered northwest India, is rich, there is not much population in Beijing's Kaitianfu area.

, and he is also busy moving and settling down, so it is simply unrealistic to carry out large-scale construction projects.

But fortunately, Tamerlane, who had made Samarkand his capital earlier, was a bit of an infrastructure maniac. While destroying people's homes everywhere, he vowed to make Samarkand the capital of Asia, so he looted buildings from all over Asia.

The treasures were piled up in Samarkand, and the most exquisite craftsmen from each city were brought to Samarkand, and the most splendid palaces and Tianfang temples were built in the city. After Timur and his successor Shaharul for several years,

After ten years of construction, the city of Samarkand is full of beautiful and magnificent buildings. Although many of them have fallen into disrepair, they were carefully repaired and the materials used were very solid, so now they only need to be painted and decorated and minor projects done.

, it will take on a new look.

Located in the center of Samarkand, the magnificent Registan Square is a key project of Beijing Kaitianfu's "small infrastructure" - this square occupies a large area and is very suitable for holding court meetings. There are three other buildings around the square

The teachers and students of the very grand Tianfang College had moved to Delhi to become masters, so there was room left. Kangxi Khan, who liked the spaciousness and grandeur of Registan Square, had Registan built with red walls.

Stan Square and the three surrounding colleges were circled, treating it as his imperial palace in Kaitianfu, Beijing.

And he also gave the palace a very Chinese name, the Forbidden City.

The three colleges were also renamed Taihe Hall, Zhonghe Hall, and Baohe Hall respectively. The square surrounded by the "three major halls" was renamed Golden Arch Square - the reason for this name was because of the

Each of the three colleges has a huge arch facing the square. Originally, they were painted with exquisite and complex patterns in blue and green paint. However, when Kangxi Khan took over, it had long since fallen off and turned into gray.

The color was very ugly. So Kangxi Khan simply had these three arches painted with gold paint mixed with gold powder, turning them into a golden look.

So the Registan Square that Tu Hai and Zhang Ying saw has turned into the Golden Arch Square surrounded by three golden arches.

...

"Your Majesty, this is the memorial attached to the request given to you by the leader of the Annan Kingdom, Zheng Gen... He has returned with eight thousand people this time, and they have already arrived in Madras. Many of them are

They are capable of using ships to fight on the water, and they also have several armed merchant ships purchased from the Dutch. If Mongolia can capture them, it will be difficult for the Mongolian navy to pull them back."

It was Tuhai who was reporting to Kangxi Khan under the golden arch of the wealthy family about the arrival of the Annan Zheng family. He was still wearing the official uniform of the Qing Dynasty and was walking closely with him while carefully looking at the gold paint on the golden arch.

Kang Mazi was sweating profusely.

Kangxi Khan seemed to be very satisfied with the decoration style of Tuhao Jin. He nodded slightly, and then said to Tuhai: "Tuhai, you did a good job... Both the Ming Dynasty and Mongolia can explain it.

They all think of you. You are truly a loyal minister to both dynasties!"

Tuhai immediately knelt down to Kangxi after hearing this, "Your Majesty, I have always been in the Ming Dynasty and my heart is in the Qing Dynasty... I have always been towards the Qing Dynasty and Mongolia!"

"I know, I know!" Kangxi Khan smiled and waved his hand. He was no longer a young emperor who could not tolerate sand in his eyes, but a middle-aged emperor in his thirties who had gone through ups and downs. He had long known that many things in the world were not wrong.

Black and white.

Moreover, he also understood that the current core of Mongolia and Ming Dynasty were far out of reach. As long as Zhu Heji was not stupid and he was not dizzy, they should not be able to fight together.

However, he still needs an intermediary to negotiate with Emperor Zhu Da. Because the Ming Dynasty's forces have also entered India. From now on, everyone will bow their heads but not raise their heads to see each other. If they are not coordinated, how will they divide the fat? When the time comes, both sides will suffer losses, which is not good for both parties.

.

He smiled and said to Tuhai: "Get up... Do I still know what you are thinking? What I want is a loyal minister like you who can deal with both sides."

As he spoke, he frowned again: "When we held the Kuritai Conference a while ago, Galdan and I cried and complained that Zhu Heji had robbed his Ketun Anu and colluded with Cewang Arab.

The three Tan brothers sent troops to attack him together. My senior brother, Sangyi Gyatso, the chief lama, also told me that Zhu Heji was stationing troops in Xining, and also sent Lama Ilaguk as an envoy to Qinghai to lobby for the submission of the Heshuote tribes.

.... It seems that we will march into the snowy region soon! I have already gone to Samarkand, why doesn’t the man named Zhu let me go?"

Tuhai said with a smile: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, the Ming Emperor just wanted to seize the Yerqiang Khanate and the Snowy Plateau to enfeoff to the Ming-friendly Mongolian tribes to defend the heart of the Central Plains... And the Ming Dynasty

Advancing towards the Yeerqiang Khanate and the Heshuote Khanate is not a westward advance. The Ili grassland located to the west of the Yeerqiang Khanate and the Heshuote Khanate has long been in the hands of Cewan Alabutan. Therefore, the Ming Dynasty attacked Yeer.

The Qiang and Qinghai are marching south, not west. And I can guarantee that the Ming Dynasty will definitely not march west again."

"How can you see it?" Kangxi asked.

Tu Haidao said: "Because Emperor Zhu has now set his sights on the New World, he is tossing up the matter of his voyage to the East, and even sent the Mongols across the ocean to the New World. This is a considerable waste of people and money, and it is faster than Zheng He's voyage to the West.

And if Emperor Zhu wanted to march westward into the Kazakh grasslands, he would have to use a limited number of Mongolians loyal to him. Now that he has sent all the Mongols to the New World for grazing, how can he continue to march westward in a large scale?"

At this time, the population of the Ming Dynasty is still too small, and even the land of abundance in Sichuan cannot fill it. Of course, it is impossible to develop the Western Regions. Moreover, the local population of the Western Regions is not large, and the territory of the Yeerqiang Khanate was washed back and forth several times by the Mongols.

, the total population is only a few hundred thousand. The population in Qinghai and the Snowy Region is even less... Well, the Little Ice Age, the Central Plains was like that, can the plateau still support people? As for the Kazakh grasslands further west, it is similar.

There are only a few hundred thousand people in the vast and boundless grassland. Normal troops would have no way to gain a foothold in these places that can be regarded as "no man's land".

Therefore, only the Mongolian tribal army, which has its own tribe and can march while herding sheep, can conquer those places.

But Emperor Zhu is now sending the limited Mongols he has to the New World!

After Kangxi heard Tuhai's words, he was stunned again and again, "Send the Mongols to the New World to graze?"

Of course he knew about the New World, and he also knew that it was a large territory, rich in gold and silver, sparsely populated, and rich in products. But he really couldn't figure out where Zhu Heweimao wanted to send the Mongols?

Can't we send some Han people there with seeds and farm tools?

How much would it cost to send the Mongols there, and they would have to bring cattle, sheep, and horses with them? It sounds like a stupid thing to do!

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid this is true." Zhang Ying took the question and said to Kangxi with a smile, "Besides, I also heard about a strange thing related to this when I was in Madras."

"Why is it weird?" Kangxi asked.

Zhang Ying smiled and said: "Your Majesty, I heard that there is a Shangfang Kingdom in the New World, and it can also herd horses and sheep."

"What?" Kangxi was stunned, "Shang Fangguo?"

"It's the Shang Dynasty that King Wu conquered and destroyed... It's said to be their descendants," Tuhai said. "It's said that they ran there 2,600 years ago and have been squinting in the northwest corner of the New World. Last year, they were

I wonder if it was only discovered by Westerners the year before last."

"Then the Westerners didn't destroy them?" Kangxi felt very strange. "Those Westerners like to do this thing the most. They destroyed many indigenous countries in the New World in the past!"

"It's not destroyed this time," Tu Hai shook his head, "It can't be destroyed either... because these merchants are very powerful. Not only are they nomadic, but they also have flintlock guns and smoothbore cannons!"

"What? There are guns and cannons? How is it possible..." Kangxi Khan was stunned and immediately understood, "Those, those are the Mongols that Zhu Heji brought to the New World?"

Tuhai smiled and said: "I guess they are the Junggar people who were captured in the Battle of Ulan Butong."

Kangxi nodded, "It must be them...this group of Dzungars are very fierce. If they have sugar gunpowder, flintlock guns, and rocket launchers, and can nomadically become nomadic, all New Spain and New France will be in trouble!"

"

He paused and then said: "It seems that Zhu Heji has a big plan!"

Although Kangxi Khan was not an authentic Mongolian, he was the Great Khan of Mongolia after all, and he knew how powerful the Mongols were... They did not settle separately, but the entire tribe moved together. And the white people who settled in the New World

They all live in scattered areas. Not to mention the settlements, even ordinary towns only have a few thousand people. How can they accommodate tens of thousands of Mongolians who are concentrated in action?

So once more than 10,000 households of Dzungar Mongols immigrate to the New World, the hard days of New Spain are about to come!

Kangxi stopped and looked back at Tu Hai and Zhang Ying, "Tell me, what should I do? Should I drag Zhu Heji back, or push him forward?"

Tu Hai smiled and said: "Push! Of course we should push... Let Zhu Heji compete with the Westerners for the New World, so that we can be stable."
Chapter completed!
