The next day, Zhu Cilang, accompanied by Zhu Heji and other generals, inspected the area near Almaty.

This is the outer periphery of the Ili River Valley. The wide Almatinka River flows through here. The tall Altao Mountains stand like a natural barrier, guarding a plain oasis near Almaty.

Zhu Heji urged his mount to go forward and walked up to Zhu Cixuan, pointing to the river channel in the distance: "Father, this area has been a good place for farming and grazing since ancient times, which is conducive to military farming and grazing.

Now this area is in the hands of our Ming Dynasty. My sons believe that we should increase the development of the Yili River Valley and the outer Yili, carry out large-scale military farming and grazing, and immigrate from the pass, making the Yili River Valley a prosperous place for our Ming Dynasty..."

Zhao Shixiang, the Minister of the Praise Painting Department, said: "Your Majesty, I think that the King of Han is very good at this discussion. The battle in the Western Regions completely exposed the inconvenience of the army transporting food from the pass...

If the Yili River Valley can be turned into the south of the Yangtze River outside the Great Wall, the annual grain output and grazing livestock can be increased exponentially. Within a few years, our Ming Dynasty garrison in the Western Regions can be supplied, and the imperial court can reduce a lot of burdens!"

Zhu Cixuan walked a few steps forward and looked at the fertile land from afar: "This idea is very good. When you return to the capital, you will ask the Ministry of Revenue to formulate a plan and develop the Yili River Valley!"

Zhu Cilang pointed at the whip in his hand at the foggy Ili River in the distance and said loudly: "If the world surrenders, my Ming Dynasty must develop the Ili River Valley and set up the fourth capital here!"

"Your Majesty is setting Yili or Huiyuan City as the fourth capital?" Zhao Shixiang said in surprise.

In his opinion, this idea was somewhat unrealistic.

Behind Zhu Heji, Xu Mingwu was also surprised. Why did Emperor Tianwu have the idea of ​​building "one capital and four capitals" like Mr. Sun?

Mr. Sun’s capital, the four capitals, were proposed in accordance with the regions in the southeast, west, north and central directions, referring to the five cities of Wuhan, Chongqing, Nanjing, Beijing and Guangzhou. Later, Yili was added and intended to be the capital of the country, with a very imaginative idea.

The Ming Dynasty now implemented the Three-Beijing system, Nanjing, Beijing, and Xijing (Xi'an). Some people also included Edo (Tokyo) in the Japanese Province into the Fourth Beijing, but there were no various yamen of the court there, which the official did not recognize.

Now, Emperor Zhu proposed to build Yili into the fourth capital, which made Xu Mingwu's eyes shine.

Any fool can see that this emperor who likes to mess around wants to learn from Genghis Khan, and even wants to surpass Genghis Khan and build a global empire!

Seeing that the minister was shocked, Zhu Cilang affirmed: "Yes, I have planned to rename Suiding City to Yiwei City, commemorate Yiwei Bo Li Hu, rename Huiyuan City to Longcheng, and expand it to become the fourth Kyoto of the Ming Dynasty!"

In Zhu Ciyang's view, the future of the world must be integrated. The Ming Dynasty is in the Eurasian plate, and the Ili River Valley is at the center of the Eurasian continent, and is the closest place to Europe, Central Asia, India and the mainland of the Ming Dynasty!

Although it is still a border and has developed very slowly, the prosperous Guangzhou was once a place of exile? It has not developed now?

As long as the policies are in place and the geographical location itself is superior, there is no need to worry about not being able to develop!

"Father..." Zhu Heqi wanted to speak but stopped, and found Xu Mingwu stabbed him in the back.

Faced with the doubts of the ministers, Zhu Cilang just said lightly: "We must look to the future and not be limited to the present."

Xu Mingwu has to admire the emperor's mature thoughts. His vision is no longer limited to the traditional Chinese land, but rather looking at the world!

The Ili River Valley is not only an important channel connecting southern and northern Xinjiang, but also a channel connecting the east and west. The Ming Dynasty not only stabilized the place, but also established the Asia-Europe transportation hub of the Kazakh Khanate, which will directly border several major empires in the world. Some will play in the future!

The group of people turned a few more places, and Zhou Peigong, who was accompanying him, suddenly suggested: "Your Majesty, I feel that our Western Expedition Army defeated the four-nation coalition forces, swept across the countries, and destroyed the Junggar and the Kazakh Khanate. This matter should be engraved with monuments to commemorate future generations!"

Zhu Cixuan pondered for a moment and agreed: "Well, this idea is good!"

Such pretentious things are still circulated throughout the ages, and a wave must be arranged!

On the tenth day of October of the 20th year of Tianwu, it was not yet sunrise early in the morning, and the weather was extremely cold.

In the bitter north wind, Zhu Cilang led civil and military generals and the army preparing for triumphant victory, braved the severe cold to hold a grand and warm monument-falling ceremony outside the city of Almaty.

Zhu Cilang carved a stone stele and erected a monument, and the inscription said: "In the 19th year of Tianwu, the leader of the Junggar thief, Zhuoteba, killed his master and rebelled, and joined forces with Tsarist Russia, Kazakhs, Bukhara, Mughals, and Mobei to disrupt our northwest territory. The thief's power has increased, and the crowd has accumulated more than 500,000 people...

In the first month of the 20th year of Tianwu, Emperor Tianwu was accepted at Dalu. Only Qing Zhixi, managed the troops in the Western Regions, and ruled the eight formations, and set the power of the gods, red armor shone the sun, red flags and crimson the sky, then broke the Camel City, destroyed the coalition forces, and the desert, and blood corpses were chased to dye crocodiles!

The King's Heavenly Army's Yingyang School, the Chihu soldiers, chased and swept like meteors, and were desolate for thousands of miles, and there were no bandits in the wild, so the districts and the flags were raised to triumphantly!

This battle can expand the territory, which can highlight the sun and the moon, boost the power of the emperor's bright sky, shine the spirit of the ancestors, and be at the end of the descendants of the thousand-year-olds. Then seal the mountain and carve stones to inscribe the virtues of the emperor!"

During the ceremonial fall ceremony, the Ming soldiers all looked proud, and Xu Mingwu also felt a sense of pride that he had never been before.

Compared with the happy scenes of the Ming army soldiers, the captured coalition generals were forced to attend the monument deposition ceremony, all of whom were forced to smile.

As prisoners of war, they knew very well what they would face in the second half of their lives. The Xingguo mine in the Ming Dynasty was world-famous, and all the well-known generals of all countries had heard of them.

During the conquest of the world, the Ming Dynasty almost did not treat aristocratic prisoners. They usually killed royal noble men and sent all noble women to Xingguo mining area as slaves. No matter how old the Queen Mother was, they all went to the minerals to move bricks!

Those with excellent looks can be sold in the Qinhuai River to serve the public.

Unless you surrender in advance, you may be able to get married in the capital and support your whole life. Anyone who fights against the Ming Dynasty will have no good end!

The ceremony ended, and the sun was rising and shining everywhere. Zhu Cilang was in full bloom with poems amid the cheers of tens of thousands of soldiers. He picked up his pen and wrote a poem in front of the ministers.

"The west wind on the frontier enters the blue sky, and my heart is the same as the sky forever; my body is like the sun rising from the east, shining on the red rivers thousands of miles away!"

After Zhu Cixuan finished writing, he threw away his pen and turned to Zhou Peigong beside him and said, "Zhou Qing, what do you think of the poem I wrote?"

Zhou Peigong went up to the front and read it solemnly, then he burst into tears like a chrysanthemum, exclaiming: "The poem written by Your Majesty is majestic and grand, and the momentum of the king is coming to your face. I will never be able to do it!"

After hearing this, Xu Mingwu thought that this guy's flattery skills were really magnificent and unparalleled.

Then, after coming up to watch, the other ministers made repeated praises, and the generals even said it was even more outspoken. This poem was more powerful than any frontier poem in history and no one surpassed it!

Everyone was happy and praised, and suddenly, unexpected accidents and earth shook.
